[developers] Latest ERG not generating unknown names with ACE

[Francis Bond]

G'day,

we have found what looks like a regression in the newest ERG.

For my tried and trusty ERG (trunk: Revision: 22903) I can parse and the
generate an unknown name:

echo "Kuririnrinrin!" | ace -g /home/bond/svn/erg/erg.dat -Tf | ace -e -g
/home/bond/svn/erg/erg.dat
NOTE: 1 readings, added 78 / 4 edges to chart (4 fully instantiated, 3
actives used, 2 passives used) RAM: 285k
NOTE: parsed 1 / 1 sentences, avg 285k, time 0.00556s
Kuririnrinrin.
NOTE: 15 passive, 163 active edges in final generation chart; built 15
passives total. [1 results]
NOTE: generated 1 / 1 sentences, avg 432k, time 0.00410s

For a newer ERG (Revision: 25380), I just get "_generic_proper_ne_":

echo "Kuririnrinrin!" | ace -g ~/grammars/erg/erg-2017-03-10.dat -T | ace
-g ~/grammars/erg/erg-2017-03-10.dat -e
NOTE: 1 readings, added 79 / 4 edges to chart (5 fully instantiated, 2
actives used, 2 passives used) RAM: 213k
NOTE: parsed 1 / 1 sentences, avg 213k, time 0.00320s
_generic_proper_ne_.
NOTE: 16 passive, 168 active edges in final generation chart; built 16
passives total. [3 results]
NOTE: generated 1 / 1 sentences, avg 491k, time 0.00555s

ace is the same version in both cases (0.9.24).

Any idea how to regain the old behavior?
