I just conflicted with Tomislav,  but have some additional info that shows it is not specific to the addon mentioned in OP:

As a note, this can be replicated with other tab discarding addons.  I tested with two[1][2].  The quick STR:

1. Add a tab discarding addon.
2. open a new tab, in this tab:
3. go to site A via urlbar
4. go to site B via urlbar
5. click back button
6. change to any other tab
7. "discard" the tab from #2 using the context menu on that tab.

At this point, the "forward" history has been lost.
