Etags completion problem for local tags table

[Radey Shouman]

In (at least) emacs 22.1, completing reads for find-tag and list-tags
will use the global tags table list even if a local tags file has
been specified using a prefix argument for visit-tags-table.

To reproduce, visit two files, in the first buffer visit a tags file
globally, in the second a different tags file locally.  From the
second buffer, try M.[TAB] .  The tag list displayed will correspond
to the first, globally visited, tags file.

A patch that works for me is appended.
