I use this piece of advice to get the desired folding behavior in
`org-agenda-follow-mode':

(advice-add 'org-agenda-do-tree-to-indirect-buffer :after
   (defun my/org-agenda-collapse-indirect-buffer-tree (arg)
     (with-current-buffer org-last-indirect-buffer
       (org-ctrl-c-tab) (org-fold-show-entry 'hide-drawers))))

This used to be the default behavior, and it couldn't be customized as
it didn't obey display-buffer-alist.  The window would always open below
the current one.  In May this year it was changed (in commit
db5478108c063d012432eba50e4ebb71a278c060) to follow
display-buffer-alist.  Chances are Sébastien is using a version of Org
mode that does not have this commit.
