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.
