It appears as if the tail +n functionality has disappeared. The info tail output still states that something like tail +2 should output from the second line onwards, as does man tail.
This functionality has been in tail on unixes from days of old (> 20 years) and I for one have written many scripts that use this, such as: ls -l | tail +2 in order to get rid of the first line with the Total number of files.
