Chrome mis-announces the number of tabs in an ARIA tablist if the tabs aren't direct children of the tablist

Reported by fst...@gmail.com, Oct 31 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_13_0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/62.0.3202.75 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Start Chrome
2. Go to https://codepen.io/fstorr/full/PJVYKp/ or see attached file
3. Start either JAWS 18 or NVDA 2017.3
4. Navigate through the tablists and listen to the different announcements

What is the expected behavior?
A screen reader should announce the number of tabs in a tablist, the index of the currently-focused tab, and whether it's selected. Chrome 62 and Chrome Canary 64 on macOS 10.3 do this.

What went wrong?
For tablists where the elements with role=tab are not direct children of the element with the role of tablist, screen readers announce "tab 1 of 1" for each tab instead of, for example, "tab 1 of 3" for a tablist with three tabs.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 62.0.3202.75  Channel: stable
OS Version: Windows 10 Enterprise
Flash Version: 

Each example in the reference CodePen works as expected, so this is a problem with Chrome on Windows.

Able to reproduce the issue on reported version 62.0.3202.75, latest stable 64.0.3260.0 and latest Canary 64.0.3260.0 using windows 10 but the behaviour is different from M-50 ie., The screen reader announce only the tab names from M-50(Fry tab, Blender tab and leela tab).

As the reported issue is seen from M-60(60.0.3112.113), considering this issue as Non-Regression and marking it as Untriaged.

Very well-researched and explained bug. I was able to easily confirm this issue in Chrome on Windows. I welcome more bugs of such high quality.
