Subject: 23.1; Invalid face reference: tags-tag-face

I sent this bug, same Subject line, to emacs-pretest-bug on
2008-02-12, before there was a bug tracker. Never got any response.
 
The bug is still there, in release 23.1.
 
Here's the recipe (from the first bug report). Where it says
`list-tags', you must provide the name of a function in the tags
table, obviously.
