I was not able to reproduce this, as I understood it, on a couple of machines with fresh installations of Fx4b9 using new profiles. I am able to switch to the tab in question.
Ah, after some more testing i figured out that this is not due to tabcandy. The switchto: function is only available once the tab has been reloaded, which  doesn't happen until you clicked on it when browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs is set to 0.

I get similar behavior with browser.sessionstore.max_concurrent_tabs = 3 on a very large session simply because it can take several minutes to reload all tabs and switching to a group loads the tabs in that group first, that's why i thought it was related to TC.

I think the switchto data should be based on session restore information until the tab has been loaded again.
