Navigating back fails to restore keyboard focus

Reported by alan.chr...@gmail.com, Jun 20 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; CrOS x86_64 8172.47.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.79 Safari/537.36
Platform: 8172.47.0 (Official Build) stable-channel candy

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. click link
2. go back
3. press tab

Test page used: http://audioworm.rein-online.org/table-contents/

What is the expected behavior?
Keyboard focus moves to the next link

What went wrong?
Keyboard focus seems to start at the top of the page again

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 51.0.2704.79  Channel: stable
OS Version: 8172.47.0
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 21.0 r0

It works correctly in Firefox.

My second disappointment in Chrome accessibility :P.  Behaviour is clearly unintended.  The scroll offset is restored correctly, but as soon as you press tab, you jump back to the very top of the page :(.

Chrome is a laptop OS, and the laptop keyboards are redesigned, but it's still not quite there...

This is a general Chrome issue rather than being specific to Chrome OS.

Looks like the current focus is not preserved in Chrome's session history, and is not trivial to fix.

I checked Firefox behavior today, and found that Firefox preserves selection, current focus and restores when history-back navigation happens.
Chrome discards both selection and focus.
