Firstly, this patch is not about remembering, but about not setting anything, so I think that the title should be something like:

  commit, tag: set parsed only if no parsing error

Incidentally, the check that you mentioned in PATCH 02 is probably no longer necessary. The tests all pass even with the following diff:

diff --git a/commit.c b/commit.c
index e12e7998ad..086011d944 100644
--- a/commit.c
+++ b/commit.c

-       return tree ? &tree->object.oid : NULL;
+       return &tree->object.oid;
 }
