Being decades-old doesn't mean it's not a bug.

Someone already has: using 'ctags -e' (version 5.9~svn20110310, as 
distributed by Ubuntu), your scenario works even when tag-symbol-match-p 
is not in etags-xref-find-definitions-tag-order.

Here's its output:

x.cc,96
class XXXX1,0
XX::foo()foo9,58
XX::bar()bar15,92
main(int argc, char *argv[])main21,122

And here's etags' output:

x.cc,55
class XX1,0
XX::foo(9,58
XX::bar(15,92
main(21,122
