The tabbed layout should only return the focused window -- there are performance implications (much fewer expose events and repaints generated), it gives better information to layout modifiers that count the number of returned windows (like smartBorders), and it's just the right thing to do (non-visible windows should be in the unmapped state is standard WM convention).
What about when running a composite manager? I run xcompmgr (at least occasionally) and noticed that now the inactive tabs can be seen in a translucent term, previously only the desktop background would shine through.
