Thanks Ben,

I actually did try

         exe 'tjump ' . expand('<cword>')
         exe 'tjump ' . expand('<cword>')

initially, but all hell breaks lose with that :)

Looks like

   try
         exe 'tjump ' . expand('<cword>')
         0tag

Does the trick - at least in the sense that it *always* finds the relevant
tag.  There's some weirdness with tab behaviour if you drill down, back
out, then drill down again.  The second drill down results in new tabs
never being opened again in the current session...  but screw it.  At least
now it reliably finds the tag.

Thanks for your input!

Cheers
Henry
