The taginfo handling is broken on 2.0.58d so you can't use it to get
the file names. Been fixed as of 2.0.62.1817, but there are other bugs
instead. I think the release candidate has this OK now.

I don't understand your fix, but if you have moved the list of files
back to the argument list of the taginfo script call then you will
face a big problem down the line. Originally the files were passed on
the command line but as soon as the combined length of the file names
thus passed reached about 4-5 kbytes then taginfo collapsed.
So a couple of years ago the file list was moved from command line to
STDIN instead.
