[issue1103] local tags sometimes fail to override global tags

[Tom Karzes]

New submission from Tom Karzes <Tom.Karzes at magnumsemi.com>:

If a repository has a global and a local tag with the same name, the local
tag should obviously override the global tag, and usually it does.  In some
cases, however, the global tag resolution logic (presumably introduced in
the fix for issue 498) appears to be leaking through, causing them to
behave incorrectly.

See the attached file "ltagfail.txt" for a detailed example of an easily
reproducible instance of this bug.

Local tags should always override global tags, and should be indifferent to
the global tagging history of the repository.  (Also see issue 1102 for
more problems with the global tagging mechanism.)
