There's no visual indication that clicking there will close the tab until the cursor is right over it, at which point the cursor largely obscures the icon. It's easy to mouse-over the status icon, click, and never see anything to suggest that you'll be closing a tab.

I really like this idea.

I like this too (less though) but it does mean you are like to avoid the
accidental closure of a tab because the close buttons will always be
shown when the mouse is in close proximity.
