What are you doing in step 2?

To create a linked tablature staff select the staff created in step 1 and click "Add Linked Staff". The staff type can be selected in the pulldown menu "Stafftype".

MuseScore does not guess/change the staff type when creating a linked staff. The original staff is simply copied.
But ok, the only use case i see is a tablatur/pitched staff combination and mscore could flip the staff type for you.
