One-line fix for Survey ExpressionEngine bug that took over a day to find.

One of the file-scoped lexicals in ExpressionEngine wasn't being initialised,
which meant that tagged data was being cached across repeated engine runs
(including, would you believe, across modperl page requests).

The fix includes tests.
