Please see test_tan.c for trouble shooting process and gsl_complex_tan.diff for a proposed fix.
1. This proposed fixed is based on 7141c7adb8100207ef01ff87a94d5179103fcebc
which add a branch in  gsl_complex_tanh to handle a similar issue. In this commit, tanh was modified to have a separate branch to handle large real part in input. This is what gsl_complex_tan.diff is doing in essense. In test_tan.c, this idea is implemented in `gsl_complex_tan_2` for testing purposes.
2. glibc implementation (https://github.com/lattera/glibc/blob/a2f34833b1042d5d8eeb263b4cf4caaea138c4ad/math/s_ctan.c)
converts everything to exponential when the imagineary part is big. Is this a better implementation?

With a large negative imaginary component of the argument,
the code for complex tangent ends up doing inf/inf.

tan(-1000i) produces nan-nan*i for me.

tan(1000i) produces i just fine.

Suggestion: use tan(z)=conj(tan(conj(z))) whenever Im(z)<=-1.
