Thanks MacTipper! The non-GUI version is, of course, faster than mine, which in the world of AppleScript also makes it better. Here is your script again for Safari users:

tell application "Safari"
	tell window 1
		set current tab to (make new tab ¬
			with properties {URL:(get URL of (current tab))})
	end tell
end tell

Rock on.

Oh, and I forgot to mention, you could just use Cmd-L, Cmd-Enter to achieve the same effect. :)

Here’s a non-UIScript script :) (which I think is Leopard only):

tell application "Webkit"
	tell window 1
		set current tab to (make new tab ¬
			with properties {URL:(get URL of (current tab))})
	end tell
end tell

The hardest part was that you have to specify which window to open the tab in.
