	I think you should use rawgettable instead:
	rawgettable (object, "parent")

>   if type(p) == "table" then    -- check if parent is a table
>     return p[field]             -- (this may call Inherit again)
>   else

	Here you can use just an empty table, but I think it'll be the same:
settagmethod (tag({}), "index", inherit)
