That's precisely one of the reasons I disliked Firefox move to
"tabs-on-top" years ago. The design with the tabs between the browser
bars and the content marks clearly (and intuitively) that line of death.
It also fixes "is the chevron a few pixels below where it should?" issue
by having a larger chrome space that can be overlapped.

I'd start by expanding the list of available labels. Maybe not simply
adding more colores to the current 8-level list, but some kind of
dot-and-dashes set of patterns could be added on top of those,
multiplying the available alternatives.
(That would also allow to group VMs by a different dimension, so you can
use different patterns for "work" and "fun", with VMs on different trust
zones for each of those domains)

An alternative would be to allow associating a long description to the
VM name. So your VM called 'work' could show "[Konstantin Ryabitsev work
on Contoso Konstantin Ryabitsev] user@work:~"
A random session tag (generated once) could be manually added to the VM,
which I suspect would work better than a dynamic one.
