I agree with Michael Blasnik. 
There is no reason to support 

by <groupvar>: duplicates tag <varlist>, gen(tag) 

because 

duplicates tag <groupvar> <varlist>, gen(tag) 

does the same thing. 

Alternatively, you can just go back to first principles: 

bysort <groupvar> <varlist> : gen tag = _N - 1
