An alternative that will fix my immediate problem is to reorder DagMC's internal operations to load a file *before* creating tags.  There's no particular reason to create them ahead of the file load.  With reordered operations, the file loaders and/or GeomTopoTool can set whatever default values they prefer without confusing DagMC.  

This won't fix the problem of loading old mesh files that lack a default value for this tag.  Once such a file has been loaded, GeomTopoTool will not work as expected, unless Iulian carries out Jason's solution number 1.  However, that is not an urgent problem.
