I'm terribly sorry, I had it backwards: Emacs's etags generates TAGS 
file just like you submitted.

I also have a different etags in my system, that comes from Exuberant 
Ctags, and it generates a different TAGS, looking like this:

test.lua,98
function Rectangle.getPos ()^?Rectangle.getPos ^A2,15
function Circle.getPos ()^?Circle.getPos ^A6,61

And that one works with `find-tag' just fine. So it would be nice if Eli 
could comment on the difference, and whether etags should be patched 
instead.
