Yes, that's intentional; and thanks for bringing this up --

I checked the other major toolkits to see which ones use click-to-focus:
Gtk, Windows, Motif, Mozilla, and OpenOffice all set focus-on-click for 
radio-, check-, and push-buttons; whereas Tk, Qt, and the Mac do not.  

Tile buttons set focus-on-click by default, though this can be
disabled by setting '-takefocus 0' on the widget (see tile::clickToFocus
and tile::wantsFocus in library/utils.tcl).
