Yes, lots. Maybe it is because I am on OSX and it comes with ctags
(probably from emacs 22, which is also part of OSX).

1. This is the options listed in the *SELECT* buffer when trying to visit
   tag Growl_Notification.

2. The problem is in osx frameworks (Growl.framework in this case), the
regular files are all inside Versions/, but there are lots of symlinks.
So tags in a symlink file A to B are considered different tags.

The dir-tree looks like this:
