So far as I can tell, it's as simple as that if tab to transients is happening, then you'd need to either audition or check the start time after each tab to make sure you'd actually reached a clip boundary rather than just reached a transient that's still within that same clip. There are times when that tab to transient feature would be useful, but if you're counting on every tab moving you reliably to the next clip boundary, it'll screw up the reliability of that workflow because you'll likely encounter transients along the way, because the amount of times you'd have to hit tab to reach the next boundary will change depending on the content of the clip.
Does that make more sense?
