Francis,
I took your challenge a long time ago, because I do the same thing:
when I'm editing JSP source code, I want to follow long chains of
included files, so I think I know just what you want...
map <silent> <C-G> <C-W>gf:tabm 999<CR>
It opens the file under the cursor in a new tab, then moves the tab
to position 999, which is generally way after any tabs I have open, so
it goes to the end.
I use a Mac, so control-g is free for me. You can, of course, put it
on whatever key makes you happy.

Here's my version:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
func! BgTab()
" Get the number of the active tab.
let s:active = tabpagenr()
" Get file to open
let s:newfile = expand('<cWORD>')
" Go to last tab
exe ':tabl'
" Open newfile in next tab
exe ':tabnew '.s:newfile
" Go back to original tab page and down one line
exe ':tabnext '.s:active
normal j
endfunc
map <silent> <C-G> <Esc>:call BgTab()<CR>
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For extra credit, if expand('<cWORD>') fails to find a valid file,
perhaps this function could use the lookupfile script:
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1581
If not, perhaps at least findfile().
