I tested again and the switch-to-tab feature now works as suggested. 
However, a switch-to-tab match will only occur with the matching URL, rather than the webpage title which is less than ideal.
Most URLs are completely disconnected with the webpage title and so practically makes switch-to-tab useless. Only with browsing history enabled is the switch-to-tab match linked with the actual webpage title.
