You need to add tabSubPages:false configuration in ionicBootstrap as follows:

 ionicBootstrap(MyApp, [], { tabSubPages:false }); 

Thus, and since each tab has its own history stack, and the NavController instances introduced into the @Components each tab will be unique to each tab, a new page will open on the current tab.

UPDATE:

Please note that with the new version of Ionic 2.0.0-beta.11 (2016-08-05) this config has been renamed to tabsHideOnSubPages , so this should be:

 ionicBootstrap(MyApp, [], { tabsHideOnSubPages:false }); 

Previous names are out of date. They will still work in the current version, but will be removed in the future, so please update the new names.
