So it should be fixed somewhere. I guess it's an easy job for you...

This change works fine:

arpeggioBracket = {
  \revert Arpeggio #'X-extent
  \override Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-bracket
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
}

But then I need to change arpeggioNormal as well (specifying the Staff
context in \revert Arpeggio #'stencil was not enough, I had to add the
override...I don't know why):

arpeggioNormal = {
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
  \revert Arpeggio #'X-extent
  \revert Arpeggio #'arpeggio-direction
  \revert Arpeggio #'dash-definition
}

I'm not sure if I want some arpeggio to appear in TabStaff. And in case
I prefer using the revert in the layout block instead of changing these
commands.

To sum up, these are the changes needed to always hide arpeggios in
TabStaff.  Probably it's not the best way, but it seems to work.

arpeggioNormal = {
  \revert Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
  \revert Arpeggio #'X-extent
  \revert Arpeggio #'arpeggio-direction
  \revert Arpeggio #'dash-definition
}
arpeggioBracket = {
  \revert Arpeggio #'X-extent
  \override Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-bracket
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
}
arpeggioParenthesis = {
  \override Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-slur
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
  \override Arpeggio #'X-extent = #ly:grob::stencil-width
  \revert Arpeggio #'dash-definition
}
arpeggioParenthesisDashed = {
  \override Staff.Arpeggio #'stencil = #ly:arpeggio::brew-chord-slur
  \override TabStaff.Arpeggio #'stencil = ##f
  \override Arpeggio #'X-extent = #ly:grob::stencil-width
  \override Arpeggio #'dash-definition = #'((0 1 0.4 0.75))
}
