Kind of a hack, but this sort of works. I say sort of works because there are two places to set the title of the tab if you look in the tab inpector. I wasn't able to set the input I wanted that says "Tab Title" with applescript, but I was able to set the one that says "Window Title." This solution will help me know what machine I'm connected to though.

settabname.sh

#!/bin/bash

osascript -e 'delay 2' -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to tell window 1 to set custom title to \"$1\""

~/.ssh/config

Host *
    PermitLocalCommand yes

Host CustName01
    LocalCommand ~/.ssh/settabname.sh CustName01 &
    HostName ec2-20-12-130-143.compute-1.amazonaws.com
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/remote.pem
    User root

The trick here is that & makes the bash with the embedded applescript execute asynchronously. The applescript has a delay which allows it to rename the tab after your remote connection does a rename.

Here's how you can clean up the tab name after the ssh command exits. http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/40899/ssh-localcommand-on-exit

~/.bashrc

## run a cleanup command after ssh exit
ssh() {
    if command ssh "$@"; then
        # commands go here
        ~/.ssh/settabname.sh Local &
    fi
}
