That last paragraph is part of pop-tag-mark's doc string. To me it
means that if at buffer/point A you move to tag X, then at buffer/point
B you move to tag Y, then at buffer/point C you move to tag Z, then at
buffer/point D:
M-- M-. will take you back to Z, Y, then X
M-* will take you back to C, B, then A

According to etc/NEWS, pop-tag-mark was introduced in Emacs 20.4, but I
can't find any reference to imenu-go in the etc/*NEWS files. Absent any
evidence in the lisp/ChangeLog* files that pop-tag-mark was derived from
your imenu-go, I think you have plenty of incentive to find out whether
it meets your requirements (and thus obviates your complaint about a
"gaping hole in the Emacs UI").
