The tab key is used in the standard save dialog to switch between
type-selection in the folder list and typing the name into the edit-text
field.  Having the tab key change its behavior to cycle between drives in
the open dialog would be inconsistent.

As Dean mentioned, command-left-arrow and command-right-arrow move back
and forth through the drive list.

Overall, I don't think this is a terrible change to the way things used to
work.
