$ echo last >> a

Result:

echo $i >> a            
$ tail -n0 -f a &
[1] 3021621
$ echo last >> a

Tested on:
$ tail --version             
tail (uutils coreutils) 0.2.2
I didn't test (yet) on 0.3 but I don't see anything on the changelog related.
It works correctly when the -n option is used with a positive integer.
