"cvs tag -B -d" does indeed remove the old tag.  If order is of
concern here, the following technique could be used:

cvs -d /home/ru/3/cvsroot import -m "test import" test Foo v1_0

cvs -d /home/ru/3/cvsroot co test
cvs log test

symbolic names:
        v1_0: 1.1.1.1
        Foo: 1.1.1

cvs tag -d v1_0
cvs tag -B -d Foo

cvs -d /home/ru/3/cvsroot import -m "test import" test FOO v1_0

cvs log test

symbolic names:
        v1_0: 1.1.1.1
        FOO: 1.1.1
