The tags are saved in the -sgf file too, if the ratings are known to
xboard.  I just tried this with two ICS games, and it worked fine.

If you are playing locally against a chess engine, then xboard doesn't
know your rating or the program's and does not set the rating tags.
Perhaps that is what you're seeing.
