Isn't this covered by tests 16 and 17 ("traverse unexpected non-commit
tag", both "lone" and "seen")? And likewise the matching "non-tree" and
"non-blob" variants afterwards?

The only thing we don't seem to cover is an unexpected non-tag. I don't
mind adding that, but why wouldn't we just follow the template of the
existing tests?
