I use the prompt for that information[*].  The whole reason for using %w is
so that the *shell* (local or remote) can set the title of the tab.  If you
want the shell to supply another value, then you need to modify the code I
supplied to do whatever you need done.  Perhaps you want to use another
format specifier in the tab settings and not use the shell at all.  Maybe I
misunderstood the question.  The "Insert" drop-down in the tab
configuration screen will show what is available, if you don't want the
shell to fill it in.

to remind me of the path.  I also never show the tabs in konsole.  That way
there's always enough real estate for the path in my terminal title bar.
It works for me.  At work, I also use different profiles to get different
background colors on terminal sessions depending on what host I am logged
into.  Then I use different menu items (icons, that is) to log to different
hosts.  More visual cues to make sure I know my context so I don't do
something stupid.
