You don't understand.

You're not supposed to call save_begin() and save_end() in a tag that can
be nested.

If the problem is that you can't trust your input, you should insert a
check in your handler for <tag> that rejects recursive use.

Big +1! This also makes save_end's return type reliably a string, which
probably would fix other people's bugs without them noticing... (IOW, user
code that would get the return data from save_end and treat it as a string).
