That's an expected error.

If you try to add or edit a tag NAME to be <> from ​https://local.plugins.dev/wp-admin/edit-tags.php it tells you it cannot edit the tag

If you try to edit the tag slug to be <>, it reverts to the slugified tagname (no matter what your slug was before - so if you had a tag with the name 'foobar' and a slug as 'notfoo', putting in <> makes the slug foobar ... Not sure if that's wrong though it was unexpected).

That said, <> is an invalid tag name, so perhaps an error should be thrown when a post cannot be updated?
