I just thought I'd update this thread to note that I've been using vim with this patch for the last month or so, and have not encountered any problems. I can't say that I stress the handling of tabs to an extraordinary degree, but in my day to day usage, this has worked fine, and has been helpful when viewing and editing files with tab separated data. I'm still hoping that this can be considered for inclusion in a not-to-distant future version of vim.
