This is a misuse of the fixed tag, which should only be applied to open bugs. The purpose of the fixed tag is: "This bug is fixed or worked around, but there's still an issue that needs to be resolved." A closed bug can by default be assumed to be fixed, so tagging it fixed is at best redundant, and most likely a nuisance, since if the bug is later found to still occur you can't just reopen the report, you have to remember to untag it as well.
