Hi,
I have been analysing this bug, these are the observation made:
In webkit\webcore\dom\eventtargetnode.cpp file, under 
EventTargetNode::handleLocalEvents(Event* event, bool useCapture) method
if (r.eventType() == event->type().....) condition fails since the r.eventType() is "focus" and 
event->type() is "click".
so the condition fails hence we wont get the alert message.
I added event->type()==eventNames().clickEvent ORed with the r.eventType() == event->type()in the if statement.
This would solve the problem.

Tests the onfocus handler for a div

It looks like the problem has moved to Node::handleLocalEvents as EventTargetNode no longer exists (http://trac.webkit.org/changeset/40675).

Shows how the onfocus handler does get called if the tabindex is set to -1

In accordance with the HTML5 spec, the onfocus handler of a div will only be called if that div has a tabIndex set:
