Clustering not behaving like supercluster (via mapbox-gl-js)

[ferntheplant]

I'm using tippecanoe to generate a tileset from a geojson file with features pre-clustered at relevant zoom levels. I'm running:

tippecanoe -o output/clusters.mbtiles --maximum-zoom=14 --minimum-zoom=12 -r1 --cluster-maxzoom=15 --cluster-distance=25 --force output/parcel-centroids_clustering.geojson

When viewing my tileset through a tool like MapBox Studio, I see the clusters behave very strange: they completely disappear as a zoom out rather than as I zoom in. I also have many very small, overlapping clusters closer than 50 pixels that could have been merged.

When rendering this geojson file directly using mapbox-gl-js with cluster settings { cluster: true, clusterMaxZoom: 15, clusterRadius: 100 } I'm seeing much nicer behavior with clusters merging and not being dropped as I zoom out.

Am I misconfiguring the clustering behavior in the tippecanoe CLI options?
