How about this suggestion?

For each JID you save the x,y,w,h of the chat window, *plus* a unique ID.
All JIDs that share a chat window get the same unique ID. If you detach a
JID from a window it gets a new, randomly generated unique ID. If you
attach... etc.

When you need to open a new chat for a JID you lookup it's saved unique Id.
If there is already a window open with that ID you add the new JID as a tab.
If not you create an new window with the saved x,y,w,h.

This way you get properly saved window positions _and_ tab grouping.
