(Get the code!)
Same problem here with Kubuntu 12.10 and Chromium 23.0.1271.
Very annoying, as I now have to click on two buttons to open a new tab. Also, drag-drop text into the empty tab bar does not open a new tab and search for the dragged text if no tabs are shown. It's as if the whole tab bar is not really there, but is replaced by an empty space to have a place for the window buttons. If you use the system's titlebar, you can see that the tab bar does indeed disappears, confirming this theory.
Using system title bar and border:

Without system title bar and borders:

When using system decorations, it actually makes sense. The tab bar simply hides when it contains a single bar. Though it's still a bad idea, because it removes the powerful tools to easily search and open a new tab.
When not using system decorations, it's really confusing. In fact, it defeats the ideas behind the "new feature" because the tab "bar" never really disappears. It's transformed into a useless bar which contains nothing more than the window buttons (minimize, maximize and close). So in practice, when a single tab is present, the tab disappears and so does the tools related to tabs: no more "new tab" button, no more dropping links or text on the bar to open as new tab. It's really confusing because the bar is still there. It's just empty and useless.
