This change was intentional, see bug 26824 if you can. Preserving keypress effects after moving focus between frames (if they come from different origins) is a security problem. Also, Safari behavior used to be inconsistent between platforms.

We chose to drop keypress regardless of frame origin for consistency.

I don't see any issues with in-frame keystroke redirection, but you might want to talk to Michal Zalewski, who reported bug 26824.
