You'll find that this only happens for guitar tablature, not bass guitar
tablature. Whether a brace is placed or not depends on the height of
the system/group.
Try
\version "2.20.0"
music = { c''1 }
\score {
<<
\new ChoirStaff \with { \override SystemStartBracket.collapse-height = 8 } <<
\new TabStaff = "Part 1" <<
\music
>>
\new Staff
<<
\new Voice {
\music
}
>>
>>
>>
}
instead. Yes, this is somewhat insane.
