It still seems to me than a set of features poorly designed. You can see
that by playing around with the two option: "--window" e "--tab"

a command like "gnome-terminal --window --tab" does exactly the same as
"gnome-terminal --tab --tab" but a different thing from "gnome-terminal
--window --window"

Still, alone, "gnome-terminal --window" and "gnome-terminal --tab" do
exactly the same thing, leaving multiple option for the same outcome
(having a new window with multiple tab) but noone for the possbile
outcome of having a new tab in an existing window.

Keeping track of the window in which open the new tab could be as simple
as adding an id to the profile (since --tab uses the Default profile,
but --tab-with-profile also exist). The id could be used to connect to
the window and send the command to open the tab(s), and everytime a new
window gets opened the profile will be updated.

It seems to me that would be much more interesting to treat this as a
bug, with the help written with the intended functionality, than to
consider the help written in a bad way.
