Ahh, parse_object() on the outer tag, when instantiating the in-core
obj, allocated an in-core object and that instance is already given
a type from the tag object and .taggeed member points at that
object, so it is not an "unknown" object (tag.c::parse_tag_buffer()).

Totally forgot about that one; thanks.
