  Not really/

  No, it says this explicitly:

   Tag
      The Tag field is one octet in length and is intended to provide a
      means of grouping attributes in the same packet which refer to the
      same tunnel.  Valid values for this field are 0x01 through 0x1F,
      inclusive.  If the Tag field is unused, it MUST be zero (0x00).

  What does that mean?  Tunnel-Type is defined to be 4 octets long.  1 for the tag, and 3 for that value.

  Are you seeing Tunnel-Type sent as 3 octets?

  When the server prints the attributes in debug output, it omits the tag if it's zero.  It doesn't print an explicit ":0" after the attribute name.

  Perhaps you could explain what you're trying to.  Right now, you're asking "why is there a problem" when no problem exists.
