Whoops, all new tags should be added above 5000, the 1196-4999 range is 
reserved to avoid unnecessary conflicts with other rpm implementations. 
Hardly your fault, this wasn't documented anywhere at all.

I went ahead and changed it:
http://rpm.org/gitweb?p=rpm.git;a=commitdiff;h=122cf542d17d5041d44b15a7f02240ac7bffcdd1

...but it means you'll have to rebuild any testing packages you have. 
Sorry for not catching this earlier.
