You'd still use that, Sounds stupid, but seems thats the way its done,  
 From the default theme: archive.php
  <?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
	<h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for the &#8216;<?php single_cat_title();  
?>&#8217; Category</h2>
   <?php /* If this is a tag archive */ } elseif( is_tag() ) { ?>
	<h2 class="pagetitle">Posts Tagged &#8216;<?php single_cat_title();  
?>&#8217;</h2>

I think it excludes by ID rather than by name.., But looking at it, it  
doesnt seem it actually references to exclude anywhere anyway, So you cant  
exclude it.
What were you hoping to do here? Exclude the tag 'uncategorized' from  
showing up? excluding tags on posts in the category 'uncategorized'?
