OK, this gets me most of the way there, thanks!... The following string 
works as I need:

<<tabs "[tag[WritingThisTiddlerTitleManuallyHere]]" template:"tabtemplate">>

Whew... I wonder: Is there a string I can use where I wrote 
WritingThisTiddlerTitleManuallyHere so that I have a simple copy-paste 
string that works wherever I put it? 

Typing or pasting {{childtabs}} at the bottom of a tiddler was so simple, 
but it seems the approach your describing here needs me to type more, and 
customize each time. (I suppose someone with more chops could do a smart 
Tiddler Commander search-and-replace to save the time of fixing all the 
tiddlers that used my broken template, but this new approach is still a bit 
of a handful to type out on each new tiddler that serves as a tag...)
