But if I get the properties of window 1 there are two interesting

So according to the script there is no tab 2 in existence, but the
properties record indicates that the current tab is 2, but yet it's
index is 1. I don't have an issue with the fact that there may be a
hidden 0th tab in the window object, but I can't make the numbers
work in any way that rationalize the above results.
No Safari 3 beta here, so this is just speculative ratiocination, but
since drag-and-drop rearrangement of tabs is now supported, a tab's
number might reflect its (zero-based) order of creation and its index
its (one-based) left-to-right position. So if you opened a window
(tab 0), created two new tabs (tabs 1 and 2), then closed the first
two tabs, you'd be left with tab 2 in index position 1.
Of course, this wouldn't explain the discrepancy between your first
and second tests, unless they were performed on different windows.
