I am not sure I understand your point. Could explain me the "arbitrary" shape problem? 
I do not think the visual problem is caused by the vertical tab border. Even if I remove that, it still looks bad and the bigger the font gets, the uglier it looks. (Some words are longer in other languages, so this could also be triggered by different language settings).  
So in my opinion it looks bad, regardless of the theme. 
Do you have another idea?
