That's not what I get at all. I get your old stuff that I pulled early May.

I suspect you didn't force the tag update: tags aren't like branches,
so by default git will not just overwrite an old tag with a new tag.
Branches are *expected* to be mutable (well, at least if the changes
are fast-forwards), after all - but changing a tag is something you
need to be conscious about.
