Does this problem really exists?  The current tab name get updated
in tab-bar-make-keymap-1 very often, it's called by the display engine
on every window configuration change.  So when you type
M-x tab-bar-close-tab-by-name, the current tab name is already
up-to-date.

Please provide a test case that reproduces this problem.

I guess you're overriding it using tab-bar-tabs-function?
