Not sure what's the problem.  I actually don't use tags-search and know
only what I've found out when answering your questions.  When doing so,
I sometimes also had the problem that I got a user-error "All files
processed" although there were new matches after point or later files.

A good thing to help debugging is setting `tags-loop-scan' to a form

    `(my-tags-loop-scan-fn ,regex)

where `my-tags-loop-scan-fn' is something like

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(defun my-tags-loop-scan-fn (regexp)
  (and (re-search-forward regexp nil t)
       (let ((comment-start-skip "\\(\\(^\\|[^\\
]\\)\\(\\\\\\\\\\)*\\)\\(%+[    ]*\\)"))
         (not (texmathp)))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Then you can edebug `my-tags-loop-scan-fn' to see what etags is doing.
