It was discussed quite a bit last year on some of the GNOME mailing lists and is basically a compromise in an impossible situation. Most people are used to using <Tab> to move between controls, since that is used on a lot of platforms' desktops. However, we clearly can't use that in text wigets since then it would be impossible to enter a tab character (which is often needed). So for text widgets /only/ there is an inconsistent keyboard shortcut. The alternative was making everything use <Ctrl>-<Tab> to shift focus and that was considered to break too many peoples' expectations. (Note: this is a precis of the discussion, it does not necessarily match my opinion.)
