[ Upstream commit b4a3a89fffcdf09702b1f161b914e52abca1894d ]
The library supports aggregation of objects into other objects only if
the parent object does not have a parent itself. That is, nesting is not
supported.
Aggregation happens in two cases: Without and with hints, where hints
are a pre-computed recommendation on how to aggregate the provided
objects.
Nesting is not possible in the first case due to a check that prevents
it, but in the second case there is no check because the assumption is
that nesting cannot happen when creating objects based on hints. The
violation of this assumption leads to various warnings and eventually to
a general protection fault [1].
Before fixing the root cause, error out when nesting happens and warn.
