This is because these are html:a elements with an onclick handler, but no href attribute. Accessibility sees them as links fine, but DOM doesn't consider them focusable because of the missing href.

Easy fix: Slap an tabindex="0" attribute onto them.

Priority suggestion: This should be done for current release as to give keyboard-only users a full accessible experience for these.
tabindex=0 is insufficient to trigger the onclick here, but it does allow it to be tabbed to.
