Comment (by sharonaustin):

 More follow-up.   Yesterday, because of afercia's insight gained from the
 IRC chat, https://irclogs.wordpress.org/chanlog.php?channel=wordpress-
 ui&day=2014-09-24&sort=asc
 (#wordpress-ui, September 24 2014, time frame 20:24 to 20:31) I understood
 that javascript comes into play as part of the problem as to why the
 Text/Visual editor tabs don't receive focus.

 To even begin to test "around" the problem, one must first launch from the
 TinyMCE editor.

 With this understanding, I went back and re-tested joedolson/avryl's patch
 using the same technique of trying to launch from inside the TinyMCE
 editor, and found that these patches ALSO worked.  Also, joedolson's code
 to ensure DOM order matched visual order was effective here.

 1. All three patches work.
 2. Thanks to afercia's insight, we now have more tools to fight the
 problem.
 3. For the next steps, we need accessibility folks more expert than me to
 be involved in guiding "how" focus should be controlled as one progresses
 through the interface.  See the 20:53 minute of the IRC chat for context.
 4. I have yet to continue the promised testing on different browsers.  Any
 additional testing is most certainly welcome.

 Great thanks again to all involved, special thanks to the patch makers.
