Perhaps something like this add in script?:  
[DeDuplicateTabs: Auto-close duplicate tabs when new windows open](https://resource.dopus.com/t/deduplicatetabs-auto-close-duplicate-tabs-when-new-windows-open/37050)

I'm not certain if that would trigger if the duplicate tab is the result of changing directories, but it could probably be modified to watch an additional event handler if not.
