Not that simple, but that might be a big part of it.  I just started looking 
at them too on Friday.
Currently IsDialogMessage passes the tab handling to the Dialog's WndProc by 
message, which is not always correct.  Under some circumstances (to be 
clarified) it does the tabbing itself, presumably using GetNextDlgTabItem 
(which it doesn't do currently)

Hopefully that will come out of it, but before we can write the test suite we 
need to figure out what the correct behaviour is.
