Why are the first 2 characters of my tag altered?

Question

I used the official javascript library to create and attach a transaction to the tangle, but the first 2 characters of the tag are always changed to some random characters.

eg. HELLOWORLD9999999999999999 is changed to XYLLOWORLD9999999999999999

How to fix this?

Due to a bug in the signing process, the js lib needs to work around by altering the tag
