Is that not a reasonable behavior?  The new (closer to working)  
size-to-fit implementation sizes every tab down, down to the minimum  
size, until everything fits.

That, however, is clearly not intentional :P  Does that happen for you  
every time you hit overflow, with any combination of tabs / window  
sizes?
