Conditional disclosure of the numbers sounds like a good idea (better than having them permanently there) -- one problem is that you use command for a lot more than switching tabs (through numbers), so these numbers would show on a lot of keyboard actions, and are likely to be a bother for most users (because part of the interface blink/ flashes when using the command modifier key).
Maybe the numbers could show up whenever someone switches tabs via the keyboard, e.g. via Cmd-opt-right, or Cmd-4.
