Indeed, and thanks for the report! I've checked with version 2.19.22
and I get the same, random behaviour – but slightly different. It
looks like you've unveiled an ancient bug.
In my opinion, the stems should be "hidden" behind the numbers.
This behaviour is documented
(https://lilypond.org/doc/v2.24/Documentation/notation/visibility-of-objects#painting-objects-white).
The layer property can be used to obtain the desired behaviour, for
example add \override TabNoteHead.layer = #2.
