I found another issue:
If a tag file is placed in a jar file in WEB-INF/lib and then is used, the
following exception appears:
org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Illegal tag file path:
/META-INF/tags/my.tag, must start with "/WEB-INF/tags" or "/META-INF/tags"
org.apache.jasper.compiler.DefaultErrorHandler.jspError(DefaultErrorHandler.java:56)

org.apache.jasper.compiler.ErrorDispatcher.jspError(ErrorDispatcher.java:76)

The change in the code is introduced with r1541960
Besides that the message is wrong because we check only for WEB-INF/tags
[1], what should be done in addition?
[1]
org.apache.jasper.compiler.TagLibraryInfoImpl.createTagFileInfo(TagFileXml,
Jar)
286 } else if (!path.startsWith("/WEB-INF/tags")) {
287 err.jspError("jsp.error.tagfile.illegalPath", path);
288 }
