Overview of the Issue

The copied image does not have name if this error occurs: https://github.com/hashicorp/packer/issues/13099 The image is not tagged also.

Reproduction Steps

See config at the linked issue.

Expected behaviour

The name and Tags should be assigned as possible as image was created. Otherwise it is not clear what this image is. It could be created a lot of images with empty names and this is ambiguous.

Here image is ready and must be named/tagged:

Actual behaviour

But it is tagged a far later:
