Yeah, I think this is a probably the best way to deal with it.  That is:
If you've opened a "domain-named" eww buffer (which is now the case with
NEW-WINDOW), then eww will have to change the name of the buffer if you
follow a link to a different domain.  But perhaps just keep renaming it
based on the new domain instead of reverting to <number>?
