The Xref etags backend also uses tag-implicit-name-match-p:
(defvar etags-xref-find-definitions-tag-order '(tag-exact-match-p
tag-implicit-name-match-p)
"Tag order used in `xref-backend-definitions' to look for definitions.
If you want `xref-find-definitions' to find the tagged files by their
file name, add `tag-partial-file-name-match-p' to the list value.")

They share some of the code, at least when xref-etags-mode is used.
So it sounds like some information found by tag-implicit-name-match-p
doesn't get handed back to Xref?
For the Xref's own ELisp backend, we will probably need to code
something in xref.el.
