I discussed this with @lamblin. We could do an optimization to fix this,
but it would be a very narrow special case. We won't do it in the short
term. But you can manually do it yourself. Instead of calling tile, you can
reshape cases[group] and reach to 3d tensor with the right dimensions set
as broadcastable. This would allow you to do what you want efficently
without having alloc in the graph. This is a very good use of broadcasting.
