It seems like the incredibly cool option would be for the auto- 
complete function to read one's tag tree/graph/whatever and, when a  
tag that has been completed/selected belongs to more than one parent/ 
bundle/supertag/whatever, to display a little drop-down box, maybe  
with check-boxes, showing those parents/bundles/etc and allowing the  
user to narrow the selection.

That might be a prohibitively large programming task or it might be  
too query-intensive.  The simpler option might be to have (or have as  
an ajaxy show-this-now option) a box with the whole tag tree/graph/ 
whatever with checkboxes that just gets called once and processed once.
