Thanks, I've tried those before.  When launching with --new-tab:

$ ./Browser/start-tor-browser --allow-remote --new-tab  example.com

It complains with the following popup dialog and does not open any new tabs:

	"Tor Browser is already running, but is not responding.
	To open a new window, you must first close the existing
	Tor Browser process, or restart your system."

The --allow-remote --new-tab method works fine with unmodified Firefox,
just not with TBB.
