I assume by "tag" you mean the hash value of the commit. I've done that for the HBMAME github repo, using tag values for "good" and "bad" builds as the git bisect command requires it. Regardless, it sounds like it would be too difficult to attempt a git bisect.
So for reference/convenience, here is the scenario of things that work and don't work. I'm happy as always to help you troubleshoot and fix this bug.
DOESN'T WORK:
$ hbmame -rompath /mnt/shoegazer/roms monaco
WORKS:
$ hbmame -rompath /home/shoegazer/roms monaco
WORKS:
$ hbmame -samplepath /mnt/shoegazer/samples monaco
WORKS:
$ mame64 -rompath /mnt/shoegazer/roms pacman
UPDATE: I compiled a new HBMAME from a post-0.186 git snapshot and it's working again. I assume it was due to a bug in MAME somewhere between 0.184 and 0.186 affecting ROM paths.
