After looking at the code, I'm not sure this is a bug.  The tab names
are just labels, although they are conveniently set to the name of the
buffer in the window to be selected when the tab is current.  But
otherwise they are just labels.  When you click on the tab, its name
is updated to reflect the buffer shown in the selected window, so I
think Emacs is behaving correctly, although it might be a bit
unexpected.

Juri, am I right?  If not, where is the code that's supposed to update
the labels when some buffers or windows are deleted or renamed?
