I think they are the same error, at least the attached test.tex file in
the related issue contains:

    \[
    x=y    ag{*}
    \]

I think that     ag should be used only in asmmath's equation
environments, because it is meant to redefine equation number with
custom text. As ordinary display math doesn't produce any label, it
doesn't really make sense to do that. 

For tagged display math, I would use custom environment. Something like:


    \documentclass{article}
    
    \newcommand\printtaggedmath[1]{(#1)}
    \newenvironment{taggedmath}[1]{\def    aggedmathpar{#1}    abular{p{.8    extwidth}r}\(\displaystyle}{\)&\printtaggedmath{    aggedmathpar}\endtabular}
    \begin{document}
    
    \begin{taggedmath}{hello}
      a = b
    \end{taggedmath}
    \end{document}

And some tex4ht configuration for \printtaggedmath to get it right
aligned.

This is of course the best solution, IMHO.
