OK. Like I said, I'm a new member of the bug squad and I've kind of adopted your problem as my cause. So if you want to give up before I do, just say so. I'm convinced there is a problem, perhaps it's just the lack of an error message but hanging with a permanent busy cursor is not the best response.
Just to be clear it works 100% on the first tab and almost 0% on the second but we've seen it work at least once. Right? Let's try to eliminate the network as the issue. What happens if you open a local folder like Documents instead of the sftp remote? Can you open multiple tabs to the same folder? If that doesn't work it points to Nautilus or the state it's in. If it does work, it is more evidence that it's something with the network I just had another thought. It's possible your ISP is limiting the number of sftp connection allowed at one time. We can test this from a Terminal window by using command line sftp then open another tab and doing it again, and perhaps a 3rd and 4th time. I don't know how many connections Nautilus uses per tab it could be more than one for efficiency.
