If you click-and-hold, then drag on the front tab in a stack you get the normal "black box to show where it will be dropped" feedback. If you pick any other tab, you get no such feedback.
It seems that the important part is to "hold" the mouse after the click. For me the immediate click-and-drag works on both active and non-active tabs. For me, on Mac 32bit, I can't drag either active or non-active tab if I were to hold a mouse in the "clicked" state for a little before moving it. (It seems that tabs are activated on the mouse-down event rather then the mouse-up? The non-active tab gets activated while a user is holding mouse in the "clicked" state.) I can not duplicate this on Windows 32bit. On Mac for me drag-and-drop of either active or inactive tab won't work it I first hold the mouse in the clicked state.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
