OK, I found out what the issue was.

ActiveTcl 8.4.13.0.261555 and 8.4.14.0.272572 has many tap files with
mislabelled Platform lines.

Platform macosx-ix86 tap files whose dylibs are actually universal
binaries (*.dylib files tested with the file command):

/Library/Tcl/expect5.43.0/expect5.43.0.tap
/Library/Tcl/Img1.3/img.tap
/Library/Tcl/itcl3.3/itcl.tap
/Library/Tcl/itk3.3/itk.tap
/Library/Tcl/Memchan2.2.1/memchan2.2.1.tap
/Library/Tcl/Mk4tcl/mk4tcl.tap
/Library/Tcl/Oratcl4.4/oratcl.tap
/Library/Tcl/snack2.2/snack.tap
/Library/Tcl/sqlite3.3.8/sqlite3.3.8.tap
/Library/Tcl/Tcldom2.6/tcldom.tap
/Library/Tcl/Tclexpat2.6/tclexpat.tap
/Library/Tcl/tclx8.4/tclx.tap
/Library/Tcl/Tclxml2.6/tclxml.tap
/Library/Tcl/tdom0.8.1/tdom0.8.1.tap
/Library/Tcl/tile0.7.8/tile0.7.8.tap
/Library/Tcl/Tkhtml2.0/tkhtml.tap
/Library/Tcl/tnc0.3.0/tnc0.3.0.tap
/Library/Tcl/treectrl2.1.1/treectrl2.1.1.tap
/Library/Tcl/Trf2.1/trf.tap
/Library/Tcl/vfs1.3/vfs.tap
/Library/Tcl/vu2.3/vu.tap
/Library/Tcl/xotcl1.5.3/xotcl1.5.3.tap

Unsure:

/Library/Tcl/Tktable2.9/tktable.tap

'file libTktable2.9.dylib' seems indicate it might be PPC only but it was
labelled macosx-ix86 in its tap file.

Hope this info's useful.
