This guard is pushed to master.  But the root problem still persists.
It can be reproduced in emacs-28/29/30:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x
2. C-x t 2
3. C-x o     ;; switches to the minibuffer
4. C-x t 2

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Specified root is not an ancestor of 
specified win...")
  delete-other-windows-internal(#<window 4 on  *Minibuf-1*> #<window 8 on 
*scratch*>)
  delete-other-windows()
  tab-bar-new-tab-to()
  tab-new(nil)
  funcall-interactively(tab-new nil)
  command-execute(tab-new)
