Or, more precisely, your application is using a cookie to maintain
state, and since the cookies used for both logins have the same
hostname, path, and name, the second cookie overwrites the first and you
are left with a single login in two different windows/tabs.

Right. One way to allow multiple logins in separate tabs is to disable
the use of cookies on the server (or even your web browser). If you've
been writing your web pages properly, all of your links should have the
session id encoded in them when cookies are not being used, and sessions
will be maintained by using that information instead of cookies.

In this case, you can login as many times as you want in separate
windows/tabs/processes/etc. and you'll get a separate session in each of
them.
