If I have two tiled windows, A and B, one on the left another on the right, then get a third window C maximized, when I alt+tab from C to A, both A and B end up covering up C.

What I expected was for the maximized window C to only be covered by the single tiled window I switched to A.

This doesn't also just happen by using alt+tab. Using the 'Activities' overview to select the windows shows the same behavior. I select the maximized window C first, then I can select any of the tiled windows, A or B, that both always end up covering the maximized window.
