We've implemented this behavior in Cream. It is a true one-tab-one-file system and makes sense for us because we are trying to maintain a conventional interface. But for a "normal" Vim user, this is quite a task. The functions are simple, but you have to maintain a pretty extensive set of autocmds in order to ensure that the tab state is always correct, regardless of command via menu, command line, mouse click, other Vim instances, etc. Cream already has this infrastructure in place, but on top of vanilla Vim would require some minor background systems. If anyone is interested in creating a plugin for Vim that does this, please email me directly or on the Cream list so as to avoid wasting everyone's time here. I'd be happy to assist developing something like this if there is interest, and it might be more productive to develop one good solution to share rather than everybody making a half solution.
