How often does it happen that you press Ctrl+L, begin typing a URL, and 
realise you actually don't want to replace the currently active page? 
Being able to decide at that point that you want a new tab _is_ easier 
than having to move focus back to the page, press Ctrl+T and Ctrl+L 
again.

Well, as long as the focus bug isn't solved, in my opinion we shouldn't 
pretend it doesn't exist!
