I've attached a patch for ui.core's tabbable and focusable functions contained in the experimental branch. This patch normalizes the behaviour of the tabindex attribute across browsers.

Specific details on the issue are available here:

There is a related ticket in core's Trac which should be updated when the tabindex proxy for $.attr is complete.
