Nothing under C-x 4 creates new frames, but tear-off-window does, so I
think either C-x 5 or C-x w.

Nice!

My own intuition is that C-x t is for operations *on* tabs, and C-x w
for operations *on* windows, so what do you (and others) think about:

C-x w ^ f                     -- tear-off-window
C-x w ^ t                     -- tab-window-detach
C-x t ^                       -- tab-detach
