I was setting up a new MOSS 2007 site yesterday. The implementation did not require all of the publishing features but I was explainiing what many of the features did. It turns out that if you turn enable the Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature on the top-level site you will get the following issues:
• The name of the tab that represents the top-level site changes. For example, the name of the tab changes from Home to the name that you specified as the title of the top-level site.
• When you click the tab that represents a subsite on the top link bar, you connect to the subsite as expected. However, the tab for the subsite is not selected. Instead, the tab for the top-level site remains selected.
I didn't know exactly what I did at first. After a little research, I found an article entitled....
The tab on the top link bar is not selected when you connect to a subsite after you enable the Office SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure feature in SharePoint Server 2007
It is located @ http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925974 that shed some light on the topic.
So I am passing the information on incase you too do the same thing. It would be interesting to know why this happens. If anyone knows, I sure would love to hear about it.

Nice post shannon..
I was activating this publishing feature for some other purpose in my site.. i noticed that the name in the site is changing from 'Home' to site title after completing some other settings of my deployment script, . I didn't realize its because of this feature..
I was in a mood of thinking like 'something happening good' and changing that from Home to site title.. :) until i see your post..
Thank you, thank you, thank you... you have no idea how many times users have asked me how to fix this and I didn't have an answer for them. Thank you.
Legend, exactly what I was looking for, cheers..
Nice Post!
I am facing the similar issue, but instead of sub-site I have aspx pages eg: People and Groups (_layouts/people.aspx) as a top navigation which never gets selected.
Any help is appreciated!
I am having the same problem as Chetanya however my problem also includes lists that I've added to the quick launch bar such as the Event Calendar and Discussion Board as well as People and Groups.
The only thing that I see in common with these links is that they are all lists. I have no idea what is going wrong.
