Do something like

var record_id = 7961854;

var content_params = {
    'session' : ses(),
    'authtime' : ses('authtime'),
    'opac_url' : xulG.url_prefix(
          urls.opac_rdetail
    ) + '?r=' + record_id;
};

xulG.new_tab( // or xulG.set_tab
    xulG.url_prefix(urls.XUL_OPAC_WRAPPER),
    {'tab_name': 'Retrieving title...' },
    content_params
);

In master, the '?r=' is bundled into the urls.opac_rdetail constant and wouldn't be specified here.
