Bug in Tab Navigation?

I think I found a bug but I’m unable to share a code here, since you’ll need to run it locally and be able to open the app within an inner url:
Let’s look at the regular tabs app - when you click “chats”, choose a person and then click “chats” again - it goes back to the chats screen.
BUT - if you start the app fron an inner url (’#/tab/chats/0’) and click “chats” - nothing will happen.
And not only that, but if you now navigate outside of the current view and click “chats” again - you’ll be back at ‘#/tab/chats/0’

Anybody noticed that issue?
What can I do about it without using “ion-tab on-select”?
