This is not the same bug as
http://bugzilla.opendarwin.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=WebKit
"gmail website steals tab focus".

This behavior has changed recently.

It used to be that if you started to load GMail, and then went to another tab,
that when it finished loading, GMail would take the focus (by calling
window.focus).  This is definitely different from Firefox but not nearly as
annoying as the new behavior.

Now, when GMail does refresh loads in a background tab or window, it also
steals focus.  So you can leave the tab/window after its fully loaded, go to
another tab and do something else for a minute, and as the refresh in the GMail
tab/window occurs, the focus will change out from under you.

This does not occur in Safari 2.0.3.
