Quoting the manual:

   Sometimes you want to splice some music at a particular place in an
existing music expression.  You can use `\pushToTag' and `\appendToTag'
for adding material at the front or end of the `elements' of an
existing music construct.  Not every music construct has `elements',
but sequential and simultaneous music are safe bets:

But you don't tag sequential or simultaneous music here, but rather
\time statements.

Writing \tag #'code << \time 2/2 >>
is likely what you intend here.
