The case of tal:attributes="something" tal:omit-tag="" in the same tag.
As it currently stands, this combination doesn't make any sense.  If
the order were switched I'd be less inclined to actually check for
this case because its just like saying "if 0:" which can be handy when
disabling something for a quick check.  The problem right now is that
all the work isn't being short-circuited.

No, always omitted.

If the omit-tag expression evaluates to true, or is empty, the tag is
omitted.
