Now the close button is not part of the tab :-(
I'll play with it more and see what I can come up with that satisfies us both.
Given that text properties don't nest, I matched the faces and use separate mouse-face properties for each component so they could be highlighted separately. Look at the attached screenshots. You still might not like it. I also handled the case where the close button might be text only vs. icon so it works for both.
