I don't think an additional ID is going to make multiple session cookies work. Lets say you have two session cookies. In each tab of your browser, both cookies are available, and so when you make a request to the roundcube server, the server won't know which session to serve. To make multiple cookies work you'd have to ask the user on each request which session to use, which is not a reasonable user experience. The other way to make this work is to make each session cookie available only to a specific tab, and this is what using private browsing mode/using different browsers achieves.
