At the end in which window?

You are right, the behavior you're seeing is not good.  But you must
also realize it happens only if you a) open new tab from command line,
and b) open new tabs in background.

The default behavior for command line is to open a new window for
exactly this reason.  Similarly, if jump to new tabs is enabled, there
shouldn't be a problem finding the tab.  Well, except the common problem
of finding the window first ;)

The idea behind opening the tabs in the way they are is to maintain
context between the new tab, and the one it was opened from.  From
command line there is no related tab, so I agree it should be opened at
the end.
