Yes, this is a flaw and something we should fix at some point. However
"tabname" would be the wrong name for it: map_features.xml should be
presentation-independent, rather than dictating what UI element (e.g.
tabs) the client app uses.

Not at present. Customising the tab arrangement and images is a
medium-term todo but not trivial.

You can just remove it from vectors.xml.
