When trying to match the end of a tag with its start, you need to look for the entire tag in a single search. Since there are several tags on the line, the way you are searching for the end tag may well find a > that comes before <garbage within the text string that you are searching.
To match the string starting with <garbage and ending with the closest matching > after that, try matching using the single BRE or ERE <garbage[^>]*>.
