I would consider "forced retagging" a feature not a bug. Otherwise for
each failed build during development you get a release tag inflation
with no useful %changelog entries (sure one can pile up all comments
about how many bugs one introduced during an upgrade of a package, but
that's not what the %changelog is about ;).

And having scratch builds to avoid this and a proper one at the end
sounds like too much CPU cycles burning.

But I fully agree on the need to have a reproducable method for
packages. Just don't remove the retagging *feature* for packagers :)
