This behavior happens only with pinned tabs. Some web services update the page content in real-time and the part of the update is changing the title of the window. Since the tab is pinned, there's no way for you to see the change in the title, so Chrome engineers created this subtle notification.

It's hard to tell from the images you provided, but I suspect it is the notification that the tab has updated/has new content. This would especially make sense with Reader and Twitter. eg. when the Twitter page updates to say "There are __ new tweets"
