I use this quite a lot in Galeon, usually I have just one tab open, and 
if I'm looking for something in google, I'll search in that tab, 
thenmiddle click (opening the link in the background) on all the 
interesting looking links. Then I'll click through all the links opened 
until I find one with the info I want, then just use this menu item to 
close everything else.

Dragging the tab off and closing the original window doesn't really cut 
it, as my browser window is maximized on one of my monitors, so I would 
have to drag it off, close the other window, then re-maximize the new 
window.

Thats the use-case, however I agree with Adam that this would be simple 
(trivial ?) in an extension, and thats probably the best place for it. 
Roll on ephy 1.6 with a UI to add / disable extensions :-)
