It looks like you're intending to set the function binding to a key
sequence, which effectively defines find-next-tag as keyboard macro.

But it needs to be a proper string or vector of keyboard events, not a
lambda form (which is what defun installs) so you need to use fset:

(fset 'find-next-tag "\C-u\M-.")

(fset 'find-next-tag [?\C-u ?\M-.])
