So, what to do? Conceivably, I could munge the tag files to contain the tags 
of their subdirectories, but I wouldn't like it since it would add a lot of 
XML processing to the dox generation process. Can we call this KDevelop's 
fault this time around and fix it there?

Right, and because of that improvement I copied the feature into the main KDE 
dox generation tools, so DOXYGEN_EMPTY now works across the entire source 
tree. It's useful here and there.

I ought to go back and try to port the KDevelop dox to the main framework, but 
I don't want to step on toes (nor, indeed, do I have much time to try it).
