hasktags -e generates lines containing the function arguments. For Example:
f0 foo\x7f5,6
The "foo" is the function arg, not the keyword to be tagged.
I've given the issue a bit more thought based on the wikipedia description[1], according to which format an etag line should have is: | {tag_definition_text}<\x7f>{tagname}<\x01>{line_number},{byte_offset} | | {tagname} (along with \x01) can be omitted if the name of the tag can | be deduced from the text at the tag definition. ...the problem here seems that Emacs can't deduce the tagname from the definition text, thus the "{tagname}<\x01>" part should be explicitly generated by hasktags IMHO I guess (= I haven't checked the actual elisp code) that '{tag_definition_text}' is useful for Emacs to help compensate for changed line-numbers since etags-generation-time, when locating the original definition-line...
