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.
On that last point, if you ask for the "name" of tab 2, the script throws an error, so that's out as an explanation.
