I've pushed a change to skip the low level table consistency checking on
the branch since that's where this report is from. The whole point of
this branch is to rescue tags from a broken database, so the user
presumably already ran the real xapian-check and it's not useful to be
repeating those checks here. Hopefully that'll get us to actually
rescuing some tags!
Cheers,
Olly
