Hello Thomas - The reason for only having an asterisk is that for many users, horizontal space for tab names is scarce.  A better choice I think would be to change the background color of the tab or just do the icon change.

This can be easily overlooked by the user which can lead to unintended command calls in other sessions (e.g. something like "rm -rf ..."). The applied patch makes the master mode more visualize by adding "[MASTER]" (or 18n-version) to the title and also by changing the icon to "emblem-important" (this may be a good choice to alert the user; may be there is something better?).
