Could you please describe the desired behavior of tab-switcher in a few
more words? I can't see anything wrong with it if I try it out here,
although I can sort of see what you're getting at: While the
tab-swicher is active there should be no tab bar, and it should return
when it is finished?
What I see is that the tab-bar just stays on all the time, with a
temporary tab for the tab-switcher itself. I have tab-bar-show
customized to "1" here.
Side question: Why does tab-switcher need to create a tab for its
purpose? Doesn't it make more sense to use a regular buffer for that?

Wouldn't it make more sense to have a different variable for that?
Because tab-bar-show is a defcustom and we wouldn't want to expose this
special value to users, right?

That's true. I can see how tab-bar--update-tab-bar-lines can interfere
with toggle-frame-tab-bar.
But I think we would need a frame dependent variable to fix this. We
can't use a global single variable, because toggle-frame-tab-bar is not
supposed to change the behavior of tabs on other frames. I have to think
about a good solution for a bit longer. Is attaching a new parameter to
frames similiar to this a possibility?

Note that I'm not yet suggesting that we do it exactly as the above,
this has other issues - toggling twice does leave the do-not-change
frame parameter in place for example, so it's not the same as doing
nothing.
