Actually, sorry, I was confused. This is still a bug in the Store.

What I'm asking for here is additional behavior, specific to the case
where "the insertion point (caret) is at the trailing end of the search
field". The Store should focus the search results pane (however GTK does
it), and should *also* actively select the first result.

This is not standard behavior for text fields, it should not be standard
behavior for treeviews, and it shouldn't even be standard behavior for
package list views in the Store. (For example, it shouldn't happen if
you tab to the search results pane.) But I think it is appropriate extra
behavior for the specific case of the down arrow key at the end of the
search field, because it makes keyboard navigation for the search
results more consistent with keyboard navigation for an autocomplete
menu in a Web browser.
