Very easy to reproduce (Win7, f = fossil):

f new sample.fossil
f o sample.fossil
echo Hello > somefile
f add somefile
f com --branch ghost -m "Save in some branch"
f tag cancel ghost af9e
rem The actual ID above may differ
f up ghost
rem not found: ghost
f bra
f up                          --does not tell you the current branch
f up trunk
f bra
rem   ghost
rem * trunk
