I think focusable assumes it can be focused I think. AT should expect that. Other reason not-tabbable but focusable element could have keys processing like tabs in addons manager aren't tabbable but if the tab is focused (by click) then you can use right/left arrows to change panels. That's might be bad design. But since focused elements can have own keyboard processing and since it's very confusing focusable element what can't be focused then we need to fix it I think.
