Yes. Subversion preserves history through copies  moves.

Thanks, I thought as much, but wanted to get a warm and fuzzy feeling

If it were me I would just create the tag again (with the correct path info
this time) and svn delete the wrong one.

You can copy the tag to the right place and delete it (or do a move
which does both).   However, the copy will still appear in the wrong
place at the revision where it was committed since the repository
maintains the history.   This is rarely a problem since subversion
handles copies efficiently.
