Some of the objects in my array are not commits, but rather tags, so
this is a bogus cast.

You can see that the original code peeled them and threw away
non-commits:

- if (from_one->flags & assign_flag)
-                       continue;
-               from_one = deref_tag(the_repository, from_one, "a from object", 
0);
-               if (!from_one || from_one->type != OBJ_COMMIT) {
-                       /* no way to tell if this is reachable by
-                        * looking at the ancestry chain alone, so
-                        * leave a note to ourselves not to worry about
-                        * this object anymore.
-                        */
-                       from->objects[i].item->flags |= assign_flag;
-                       continue;
-               }
So presumably we'd need to do something similar.
This patch seems to fix it for me. It's more or less a reversion of the
hunk above, though I didn't dig into whether I'm violating some other
assumption in your new code.

I think this function leaks "list" both from the location I noted here,
as well as from normal exit
Thanks for the report and the fix. I'll try to create  test that demonstrates this and then push up a full patch.
