The editing vs browsing model was at the core of the early disappointment at the changes in Xcode 4, and I hope we don't revisit it.
That said, Xcode just doesn't open new tabs spontaneously. You can ask for one directly, you can use the General panel of the Preferences window to make modified clicks create tabs, or a Show Tab action in a behavior can create a tab if the named tab isn't there. But to get the latter two behaviors, you have to ask for them explicitly.
I've never had tab titles get absolutely out-of-sync with their contents, unless I explicitly asked for a permanent title of my own by editing a label. (I _have_ had the Window menu erroneously report tabs as "(Empty editor).") If you have a reproducible case, take it to bugreport.apple.com.
By the way, you can force any navigational gesture — such as command-clicking for a definition — into the assistant editor by holding down the option key. That preserves the focus of the main editor while you're doing your lookup.
