Bug: group tags defined in org-tag-persistent-alist do not match their subtags [8.3.4 (8.3.4-31-gcb683e-elpa @ /home/jorge/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160404/)]

Bug: group tags defined in org-tag-persistent-alist do not match their subtags [8.3.4 (8.3.4-31-gcb683e-elpa @ /home/jorge/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20160404/)]

[Jorge Peixoto de Morais Neto]

Suppose I wanted "animal" to be a group tag matching itself and
"mammal".  I would like them to be mutually exclusive to avoid
redundancy.  So I would define them in org-tag-persistent-alist as
such:
     (:startgroup)
     ("animal" . ?a)
     (:grouptags)
     ("mammal" . ?m)
     (:endgroup)

But then a tag search (e.g. trough org-match-sparse-tree) for "animal"
does not match an entry tagged as "mammal".  I expected it to match.

To ease debugging, I have created a new .emacs.d and removed all
unnecessary customizations (but still included a copy of my usual
~/.emacs.d/elpa).  I have also reduced the .org file to a minimum.  I
provide them as a compressed archive (.txz) here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/edas2l4e7ekbmek/group-tags-bug.txz?dl=0
I can also mail it on request (it is about 4MiB)

To trigger the bug, open Emacs with my .emacs.d, visit
group-tags-bug.org and invoke org-match-sparse-tree.  Search for tag
"animal".  The entry "Human" (tagged with "mammal") is not matched.

I am Brazilian.  I apologize for possibly bad English and I welcome
corrections.

I use Ubuntu 15.10.

Fixed in master. Thank you.

For the record, it is better to simply post minimal init.el and
"group-tags-bug.org", both as plain text, in the message.

Of course.  Sorry for being obtuse. And I took the opportunity to test
that the bug still occurs in org-20160418.

File group-tags-bug.org:
---------------------------
* Dummy
** Human     :mammal:
---------------------------

File init.el:
---------------------------

;; Added by Package.el.  This must come before configurations of
;; installed packages.  Don't delete this line.  If you don't want it,
;; just comment it out by adding a semicolon to the start of the line.
;; You may delete these explanatory comments.
(package-initialize)

(custom-set-variables
 ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(org-tag-persistent-alist
   (quote
    ((:startgroup)
     ("animal" . 97)
     (:grouptags)
     ("mammal" . 109)
     (:endgroup)))))
(custom-set-faces
 ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
 ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
 ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )

The bug was fixed in master, i.e., development branch. It means the fix
will not appear on ELPA before Org 9.0 is released.

OK.  Thank you very much for improving Org!
