'git bundle' only includes the tags that you specifically tell it to. It's kind of like 'git push' that way. If you do:
git tag -s mytag
git push origin master
You don't expect origin to contain 'mytag' just because you pushed 'master'.

That kind of magic would require 'git bundle' to look at all your tags and see which ones lie in the range lastbundle..master. And even that isn't perfect, since you might have added a new tag that points before lastbundle but was added *after* lastbundle. So every bundle you created would need to include *all* your previous tags.
Nevertheless, if you wanted to create a bundle that includes *all* your tags, but not any of the objects leading up to lastbundle, this works:
git bundle create ~/git.bundle --tags lastbundle..master
Note however that it will include tags even if they *aren't* part of master. That is, if you have tags pointing at branch 'next', all the objects for those tags will *also* be included.
Have fun,
