This happened to my work email tab, but not my personal email tab, so now I can finally tell them apart!

I'm in the same situation, and I hope this never gets a fix from Google, as like you I like being able to tell the difference when the tabs are too small to show the email address.
Or use an extension to change the favicon, such as https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/i-hate-your-favico... (change favicon on url google.com/mail/u/0/ or /1/ etc..)
My work gmail and personal gmail have always had slightly different icons for some reason:

I had just assumed my work had changed the Gmail favicon!
I'm with you - I thought this was actually a new enhancement and was pretty happy with it.
