Comment (by azaozz):

 Replying to [comment:29 johnbillion]:
 > I prefer this behaviour, but it does make it impossible to select the
 top level menu item.

 Yes, but the top level menu "action" is the same as the first submenu
 item, so nothing is lost.

 > I was more concerned that the front end and back end tabbing behaviour
 is different (if jQuery isn't present), but actually it's not the end of
 the world because the user can hit enter on the admin link and then tab
 through all the menu items once they're in the admin area.

 Right. In irc we were talking about loading jQuery on the front end for
 logged in users (as the admin bar shows only for them). This has the
 potential to bring errors, break (old) JS in the theme that hasn't been
 updated to use jQuery 1.6+, etc. so decided to leave it for 3.4. We
 probably can try "lazy-loading" jQuery only if it hasn't been loaded
 already, etc.
