If I copy that same example Plot[Tan[x], {x, -3, 3}] form the Basic
Plotting page in the Documentation Center and evaluate the cell in a new
notebook -- or even if I evaluate it in place in the Documentation
Center page -- then I get exactly what you expect, namely, no error
message. (Mathematica 8.0.0, Windows XP.)
On the other hand, you do get the spurious vertical segments at the
asymptotes. to avoid those, include the option:
Exclusions -> {-Pi/2, Pi/2}
