The character in question routinely wears sealed battle armor. So getting warped into space isn't a huge problem for them.

I suspect the same should apply to Warp Tunnels.

That sounds reasonable, but I don't see anything like that on the tunnel modifier itself. So it would be a hard sell.

There's no reason to have "unforeseen" side effects when you're working with Powers. Buy what you want, pay for what you get.

That was my first response actually. I'm just having trouble convincing the player that that is the proper course of action. So I was looking for an alternative either a rule reason why it's not possible. Or a way to make it possible.
