TITLE:  Creating a new institution with minimal info fails to save

BUG SUMMARY: This bug has something to do with a larger piece of
functionality (SAML login) This code basically creates an Institution
when a user browses to the home page - multiple browses to home page =
multiple Institution created with an alpha character amended to the
short name.

When we do something like:

    $name = 'My new institution';
    $institution = institution_generate_name($name);
    $newinstitution = new Institution();
    $newinstitution->initialise($institution, $name);
    $newinstitution->commit();

It should create us a new institution - but instead we get an sql error complaining that the 'tags' column is not an integer
