That's because vi's tags format is different to emacs,
so it is indeed not a valid emacs tags table.

It sounds like your "TAGS" file hasn't been generated right
for your project but your "tags" file has - usually they end
up very roughly the same size (TAGS a bit larger)
and you use nearly the same commands to make them (ctags
for vi, etags for emacs)
So, regenerate your TAGS file - sometimes projects
will have a "make TAGS" makefile target to do this for you
(especially complex ones where a naive find might
pull in weird stuff you don't want) - but if not, it's
usually a one-liner anyway, perhaps along the lines of
find . -name "*.[chCH]" -print | etags -
(This is in the emacs manual...)
