Today, we're getting a few reports in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, from blog owners who setup blog clusters, with the cluster members linked using tabs in the Pages gadget - who suddenly found their clusters unlinked.
You can see the problem, in my demonstration blog. The tab marked "Indra" should redirect to "officialcommunities.blogspot.com" - instead, it redirects to the home page of that same blog "nitecruzrtestnew.blogspot.com".
When I look at the Pages editor, I see New Page › Web Address.When you look at my blog, you see
We have almost a dozen forum discussions, all reporting this same problem. We now have a rollup discussion, in Blogger Help Forum: Something Is Broken, where details are requested.
I was able to contact Blogger Support, so they are aware of the problem, and are working on it.
(Update 2011/12/04): We are receiving reports that the problem has been resolved. Thanks to the Blogger Engineers who worked long hours to fix this one.

The Ship's Log tab in Nicolls@Sea should link to the log. Home, Trip Map and About Seasprint tabs (currently removed) should link to the three Nicolls@Sea pages.
I've put a clumsy workaround in but am v. keen to fix it. Many thanks!

Its a fairly important section of my blog as it allows me to link together my various work.

Hatter,
You can use an HTML equivalent of the tabs bar, if you wish.

Leave your pages intact, add the Link List gadget and add the links to your pages in the order you prefer. In Layout, move the Link List gadget beneath your Pages Gadget. Check the page to see if it has worked correctly and is styled the same as your Pages gadget. Go back to layout and remove the Pages Gadget.
Hope this helps.
I've had to do this on many of my sites and I haven't had a problem since!

Actually, we've seen this problem both in dynamic and non dynamic templates. The problem is apparently in the code behind the Pages gadget - not in the template itself.
