Wed 17 Nov 2021 09:18:50 AM UTC, original submission:
To reproduce, add a line with 'tabgives "xxx"' to the syntax/default.nanorc file. Then run:
Type <Tab> to see that it indeed produces xxx. Now type M-O. See that the status bar says: "[ Conversion of typed tabs to spaces enabled ]". Type <Tab> again. It still produces xxx (as it should). So the feedback from M-O is... misleading. (In theory the feedback is correct, because normally, when aterward switching to a buffer that is not covered by a syntax with a 'tabgives' command, the conversion of tabs-to-spaces will indeed have been toggled. But that is not how the user will interpret the message.)

Fixed in git, commit 2b0bcc7c, by saying that the "Current syntax determines Tab" when that is the case.
