I reported the bug against the unstable version, and after installing
the experimental version, it appears that the behavior has changed in
the right way. The new man page confirms this. It is now much better!

In the experimental version, surf behaves exactly as I suggested:
it is now configurable. So, for instance, I can now type
"tabbed xterm -into" and get the behavior I wanted: Ctrl-Shift-Return
