The following:

function getCMSFields(){
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
...

$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Homepage', new HtmlEditorField('HomepageDescription', 'Homepage Description (Optional)'));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Homepage.Display', new CheckboxField('ShowInHomepage', 'Show this special on the Homepage (customise below)'));
...

Throws the error:
User Error] FieldSet::addFieldToTab() Tried to add a tab to object 'Tab' named 'Homepage' - 'Display' didn't exist.
GET /admin?flush=1

Line 266 in D:\Websites\xampp\htdocs\sapphire\forms\FieldSet.php

Which is an error in findOrMakeTab when adding 'ExistingRoot.NewTab.NewSubTab'

Any suggestions or should i log this bug?
Also are tabs limited to three levels? (this bug prevents me finding out)

note it doesn't matter that I have already added the first new tab i.e.

findOrMakeTab('ExistingRoot.NewTab')
findOrMakeTab('ExistingRoot.NewTab.NewSubtab') <- this line throws the error

Another update:
In 2.3.1 the error is Line 270 in FieldSet.php
