If you set enableBlogAuthors or enableBlogTags to false in your SiteConfig, Gatsby freaks out:

Looks like the queries may need to be adjusted to account for these settings.
As a sidenote, I'm okay with not allowing people to remove tags and authors from the blog, since this is probably rare—most people who want a blog would be likely to want certainly tags, but possibly authors as well. And having authors in a set file, even if there's only a single author, makes it more straightforward to show an author bio box or similar.
