Test case ported to jsFiddle.
This isn't a bug.
The Event-object documentation says:
Certain native events may have special properties that can be accessed as properties of the event.originalEvent object.
The trigger() documentation (.focus() is short for .trigger("focus")) says:
Although .trigger() simulates an event activation, complete with a synthesized event object, it does not perfectly replicate a naturally-occurring event.
As triggering focus with .focus() isn't a native event, the originalEvent property can't available.
My test case also clearly shows that when the focus event is triggered natively you can access the originalEvent property as documented.
Please follow the bug reporting guidlines and use jsFiddle when providing test cases and demonstrations instead of pasting the code in the ticket.
