We check every tag against both functions, that's the point.
tag-implicit-name-match-p is more flexible,

No. Unless there's an explicit tag name, this function will return nil.
Check out the first comment in its implementation.

We'd get it at the cost of precision, though. In this case, foo:bar (a
valid Elisp name) would become an implicit match for "bar".
Anyway, this thread of thought is probably not worth pursuing: we'd want
to be compatible with 'ctags -e' (not least because it supports more
languages), and there's no option to generate qualified C++ method names
there.
