How about creating something like [[Mediawiki:Nstab-mainpage]] which would work the same way as [[Mediawiki:Nstab-main]] thus removing any need for a paser-function ect, although it might not work for people that redirect their Main Page to some other name.
It seems unjustifiably narrow.

Indeed. We wouldn't even be having this conversation if people were content with leaving nstab-main set to something that makes sense for all pages in ns-0. Fwiw, I disagree with the parser function too, as it will generate needless confusion. The entire point of the nstab- messages are to give a consistent tab name for all pages in a given namespace. Once you introduce the ability to customize it per page, you ruin its original meaning.
