It looks like a bug in the darcs conversion in my case, because my 
darcs-2 result of the conversion lacks some tags, which are present in the 
darcs-1 source (and also in the hub darcs-2 repo). It's strange that the 
conversion once done for hub didn't have this problem.

~/TOOLS/prog/language-c.darcs-2 $ darcs show tags
imz_init_typos-fixed
0.4.1
0.3.1
$ cd ../language-c
~/TOOLS/prog/language-c $ darcs show tags
imz_init_typos-fixed
0.4.1
darcs_apply_bug
0.3.1
0.3
0.1
~/TOOLS/prog/language-c_hub $ darcs show tags
0.4.1
darcs_apply_bug
0.3.1
0.3
0.1

The conversion was done like this (with some warnings/error messages):

~/TOOLS/prog $ darcs convert darcs-2 language-c language-c.darcs-2

Finished converting.
