That is a very good question!  I oversaw that we still start with

  (or w3m-tab-line-format ...)

After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that it can't work,
theoretically.  After I tried it again, I also came to the conclusion
that it doesn't work in practice ;-)  Dunno what we both tested...

Anyway, I think the patch is nonetheless a step in the right direction.
But we would also have to set `w3m-tab-line-format' to nil when the tab
line got out of sync - and this in all w3m buffers.  WDYT?
