I would be happy if the about:config pref: browser.tabs.animate; when set to false would be updated to include the disabling of this tab re-sizing behavior, since in all reality it is a tab animation isn't?

Tab Utilities includes a hidden option to disable this feature. This is the only workaround I know of (so far).

After install, go to about:config and set 'extensions.tabutils.delayResizing' to 'false'
