Bizarre bug: Typing on dial pad during phone call launches live wallpaper. WTH?

Does anyone have an idea what might cause the following, bizarre behavior? (I have the Pixel 2)

I use a phone service to make calls from the US to Germany. I dial an access number, and follow automated prompts to enter "the number I wish to call."

Here's where it gets creepy: as soon as I start typing that number, the phone vibrates (as it always does when launching Google Earth) and opens the Google Earth application. As a result, I can't complete entering the phone number in time and the automated system hangs up.

What the heck is going on here? Thoughts?
 
What happens if you uninstall Google Earth? If the call goes through then, try reinstalling Google Earth.
