Sure, if it was a branch.  If I was packaging the latest of some branch, I
agree that it would be a snapshot and would thus obviously need to follow the
snapshot naming guidelines.  But reptyr-0.2 is not a branch, it's a tag.

$ git tag
reptyr-0.1
reptyr-0.2
upstream/0.1+git.20110212t183758.d51bfc2d
$ git branch -r
  origin/HEAD -> origin/master
  origin/attach-fds
  origin/debian
  origin/master
  origin/pristine-tar

One could argue that tags could be moved to point to a different revision
later, but that's a splitting hairs discussion I have no interest in.

>, that of stable release tarballs cannot.

That's simply not true.  It's not a good practice by any means, but
unfortunately it's not uncommon at all for some upstreams to modify/replace
"stable release tarballs" in place.
