I guess it expects to find the version that's distributed as part of
Emacs.

If Exuberent etags is supposed to be a drop-in replacement for Emacs
etags, it should support the same options. Otherwise, it is a bug in
the distribution if it gives you a "non-standard" etags (you can call
the Emacs etags the "standard").
