I do not think I wrote it to allow different degree of peeling, not
because I wanted to explicitly forbid a use case for tags that tag
another tag, but simply because I didn't think of anybody using it
and didn't see need to support such tags.
If %(*<stuff>) does not peel fully (I do not recall what I did
offhand), because all other things in Git (like $X~0, $X^{tree},
etc.) fully peel the outer object until they get to what they want,
it may even be OK to declare it a bug and "fix" the notation to
fully peel tags. I dunno.
