The icon on the "new tab" button isn't evocative of tabs.  If you know that the sidebar is about tabs, then, as the only button and one with a plus on it, you can figure out what it does.  BUT - it's no help if you're trying to figure out what the side area is about (this came up in some usability tests).

This is a fast easy change from a development-time perspective.
