Comment(by jteh):

 As of r2649, NVDA will correctly switch to focus mode automatically if
 focused on an ARIA tab control.

 Pressing enter on a tab while in browse mode still does not switch to
 focus mode, but it does activate the tab. We're uncertain whether
 switching to focus mode is actually correct behaviour in this case. The
 reason is that since all of the tabs are exposed in the buffer, the user
 probably just wants to activate the tab under the cursor, rather than
 switching to focus mode and then having to activate the correct tab
 anyway. If you really do want to interact with the tab, NVDA+space can be
 used. This is the same behaviour we use for buttons, checkboxes, etc. Vic,
 is this acceptable?
