I think we all agree that it’s desirable to have a proper capture of the page. What Bill is suggesting is a temporary stop-gap measure to buy us time until we can implement a proper solution (which unfortunately is technically hard). Some sort of "default thumbnail" for tab previews, maybe using the origami style? Sure that won’t solve the problem of identifying at a first glance which tab is which, but it might help make the view look less empty.
