Also, I suppose for phablet we can only let certain apps have multiple entries in the spread? (/me foresees app surface creation bomb attack) - what will define that policy (that qtmir will implement)?

I've a feeling that tabs in a phone factor browser are a bit shoehorned in, I'd actually be much happier having separate items in the right-edge spread for the open websites instead of introducing a second "axis" on which to switch between tabs. I remember it was a desire to "explode" tabbed UIs in the Super+S spread in Unity, but it was not possible technically. Maybe it could be made possible today? Whether tabs would exist grouped in the same right-edge stack, or as completely independent entities, remains to be investigated. Maybe we'd explode the tabs on touch or pinch or something. I just can't see the purpose of tabs if they're not readily available, which on a phone form factor would be a waste of precious screen estate.
