It's not logical to present the same data differently between the Task Switcher
and the Task Manager. The fact that these tao apps are in the same window group
and also have the same pid are implementation details; from a user perspective,
they are different apps. The Task manager manages to figure this out; if the
Task Switcher does not, then we have a buggy behavior of the same thing being
presented differently in different contexts.

I know this situation is non-ideal because it amounts to working around an odd
app behavior, but sometimes that's what you need to do to ensure internal
consistency and a good user experience.
