Yes, tagmanager was based on some pre- ctags 5.1 version which is more 9 years old now. I have a branch here

which brings the ctags part of tagmanager as close to current SVN version of ctags as possible. I updated only the core parts of ctags, not the parsers, because I know there have been many tunings made by Geany to some of them. Recently I've rebased on top of the changes made by Colomban (MIO introduction). I've also #if 0'd a lot of code not needed by Geany so it's much clearer what's used by Geany and what not (e.g. some of the Colomban's changes were completely useless because they affected code that's never called in Geany).

Not sure if you've seen this[1], to quote the source where I found that "...the patched and up-to-date version of ctags. It ships with Anjuta's package.". It would be cool to merge their fork into the mix as well.

Yes, I've seen it. But the plugin works differently to Geany. Their ctags version in Anjuta is identical to the mainline version - they first run the ctags on the sources and then parse the result and store it to their internal database. Geany's ctags version adds the tags into the tag list immediately when they are found so the ctags sources need to be modified slightly for that (and as a result it doesn't need the code that writes the tags into the output file).
So in order to use Anjuta's version, you'd have to use the whole symbol-db plugins which in my opinion isn't a good choice for Geany because it looks rather heavy-weight (persistent storage of the tags into sqlite database and quite a lot of extra sources).
Sorry, I just meant that maybe you should rebase the Geany stuff on anjuta-tags instead of the unmaintained Exuberant Ctags like you mentioned you were doing, since Anjuta seems to have fixed bugs and added lexers since development on Exuberant Ctags stopped (2009?).
