This is working as intended:

Telescope is opening the file in the nvim-tree buffer. nvim-tree ejects it, which is the default behaviour. See :help nvim-tree.actions.open_file.eject

My solution is to focus the window in which I want to open the buffer before opening telescope. I call this "go home" and my mappings invoke it before many actions.
