the full path that I'm currently in on the remote server?
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.

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.
