Oh cool, I haven't actually used multi-page TIFFs before, it's nice that Tesseract handles them well, straight from ghostscript.
Yes, at the moment I suppose you'll just have to make a little script or something to wrap the ghostscript and tesseract steps appropriately. I have used pdfimages for a number of things, with scripts handling the files one at a time. But I can see ghostscript would be a better way of working for you (and quite possibly for me, next time I have lots of stuff to process).
