For testing purpose, I think you should add it in the "initial" section
of .tm files. This could gives:

<TeXmacs|1.99.1>

<style|article>

<\body>
  Test RCS.
</body>

<\initial>
  <\collection>
    <associate|rcs-id|$Id$>
    <associate|rcs-src|$Sources$>
  </collection>
</initial>

By the way, you will have no guarantee that your Id string is conserved
as-is. Linefeeds and other stuff can occurs. Also, the Id string should
not deface the TeXmacs document. To ensure this, verify that the
brackets < > are properly escaped via \<less\> and \<gtr\>.
