'tagmanager/c.c' does Java parsing and is based on CTags, but it is quite out of sync. Depending on the patch it's possible it could be compatible with CTags too. It's also possible they already fixed the problem.
Regarding the sync, you weren't kidding. I've not yet identified what the difference is that allows the newer version to work (but it seems to, the resulting tags file has a single entry for the test function that I put in my initial mail.
A question; if the change turns out to be large, would it be a better idea to re-base the tagmanager to use the current ctags code. IIRC someone was looking at doing memory based parsing of tags, rather than file based so it might be useful if we collaborated a little on this.
