This seems to indicate a problem in etags. Were you using the "real" 
etags, one that's developed and distributed together with Emacs? Did it 
come with the development snapshot your bug report was sent from?

If so, please send a small sample of Perl code we can reproduce the 
problem in.

Thanks, but yes, that patch is a kludge.
