Correct.  Its subtle but its normal GTK behaviour.  

If the tab is not displayed, clicking on the tab switches the tab contents, so 
the content widget is displayed and selected and so up and down arrow moves the 
selection _in_ the content.

But if the tab is already displayed then clicking it will _select the tab 
title_ not the tab content.  This may be visible depending on your desktop 
theme, mine shows a fine dotted line around the tab title.  So the first down 
arrow moves the selection _to_ the content widget, but if you don't notice the 
selection it will appear that nothing happened.  Now the content widget is 
selected a second and subsequent arrow will move the selection _in_ the content 
widget.

It is probably easier to see with symbols, when the symbols tab is first made 
the current tab the filter entry at the top will be selected and have a 
flashing cursor in it.  Press up arrow and the tab title gets the selection and 
filter entry will lose selection and the cursor, press down arrow and selection 
comes back to the filter entry.
