The crucial difference is that the number of matches must now be
small, something that required us to remove the method which could
cope with qualified tags when the symbol at point was unqualified.

True.  But the original arrangement worked well with both with
find-tag and with completions; now that we removed tag-symbol-match-p
and qualified names, completion is less user-friendly.

So I think we should default to having 2 entries for each such tag.
