Found your bug (I think):
You don't check in your code whether there is a selection (if (arguments.length == 1)
for example, if you want to act only when one is selected).
You'll probably want to do similar logic to the Foreman plugin, setting the sub-tab
content URL only in case one VM is selected, and setting the URL properly.
The fact that your alert won't show is that you call arguments[0].name, and it fails
when nothing is selected... and I guess that's the case when you switch tabs.
Didn't check it out, but please check it out... and let me know what you found :-)

Subject: Re: [Users] UI Plugin issue when switching main tabs
When switching back to vm main tab changing the selection doesn't
work.
No matter which VM I select the VirtualMachineSelectionChange
function isn't called again (as my debug alert window doesn't
appear), but the last vm I selected before switching to another main
tab is cached in variable vmName...
It works again after restarting engine-service.
I just tested your foreman plugin and it seems that this one is
working as expected.
Regards,
René
