This is fixed now.

I agree that it should show only buffers that you visited in the window,
but I suspect that a long list of previously visited buffers in your window
caused by a desktop bug - it seems the desktop restores all buffers
saved from the previous session using the same window, thus causing
a large list of visited buffers in one window (and as you noted below
there are no such long list of buffers in other windows).

Yes, it seems it makes no sense to display tabs in the speedbar window.
Please try this customization:

(add-hook 'speedbar-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (setq-local tab-line-format nil)))

Another place I noticed where it could be disabled is *Completions* window.
