I had this issue too, but that was easy to fix.
Some pesudocode to clearify:

callback on "page-switched":
{
create tab label
create tab child
show label
show child
spawn new tab
set the recently spawn tab to be the new current tab
}

The crux lies in the fact (I think) that this callback gets executed
on "page-switch" which itself changes the current tab

What I need this for? Imageine a plus on the last tab, as soon as you
click that tab head, a new tab with some other content spawns. (Just
in case someone cares)
