You have to be on the [/].
If you are anywhere else on the line the default behavior is indeed to set a tag.

Right, because you are not in a list, use:

*****
* A test todo [/]
 - [X] checkbox
 - [ ] another checkbox
*****

BTW, you should get exactly the same behavior in the shell.

In case you want to use the same Emacs in the shell and in GUI, add

/Applications/Emacs\ 24.5.app/Contents/MacOS/
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ adjust as appropriate

to your PATH.
