Replying to myself: this was still happening with svn rev 2654, and 
actually affects meter markers as well as tempo markers.

It only happens if the marker is the first marker that you move after 
starting Ardour. Drop a location or range marker and move it first, and 
then you can drag your tempo (and meter) markers around to your heart's 
content.

I think this is because drag_info.copy isn't initialised properly in 
gtk2_ardour/editor_mouse.cc, in Editor::start_tempo_marker_grab() and 
Editor::start_meter_marker_grab().

I've attached a patch that seems to fix it for me. I hope this is the 
right place to send it to.
