Description

Example:
```py
def body(carry, _):
return harvest.sow(carry, name='x', mode='clobber', tag='tag'), None

f = jax.jit(lambda x: jax.lax.scan(body, x, None, 5))
harvest.harvest(f, tag='tag')({'x': 1}, 1)
```
This raises `ValueError: safe_zip() argument 2 is longer than argument 1`.

Interestingly, it does work without the planted value, or without the jit, or if we replace `harvest.harvest` with `harvest.plant`.

Research direction

Start by running the reported Python reproducer using jax.jit, jax.lax.scan, harvest.sow in clobber mode, and harvest.harvest. Compare it with the cases that work without the planted value, without jit, or with harvest.plant; done means the jitted scan completes without the safe_zip ValueError.
