Suggest a fix

Want to first make sure it's not other bugs causing this. Then I'll file an issue to swagger parser. In the meantime, maybe we want to downgrade parser to 2.0.17?

Reproduce the warning with test.yaml, paths/tag.yaml, and components/misc.yaml using the documented openapi-generator command. Start by tracing ExternalRefProcessor and the related pull request #5413 to see how nested external references are handled. Done means generation resolves Tag and TagType without the reported duplicate-model warning.
