Setting selectedTab via $CurrentPage.parameters

I'm trying to get this to work...
<apex:page standardController="Account" showHeader="true" tabStyle="account" >
{!$CurrentPage.parameters.tabFocus} <br/><br/>
   <apex:tabPanel switchType="client" escape="false" selectedTab="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.tabFocus}" id="tabPanel" >
      <apex:tab label="Details" name="AccDetails" id="tabdetails">
         <apex:detail relatedList="false" title="true"/>
      </apex:tab>
      <apex:tab label="Contacts" name="Contacts" id="tabContact" >
         <apex:relatedList subject="{!account}" list="contacts" />
      </apex:tab>
   </apex:tabPanel>
</apex:page>
 ...by requesting this URL: https://c.cs1.visual.force.com/apex/TabbedAccount?id=15DigitAccountId&tabFocus=Contacts
I know {!$CurrentPage.parameters.tabFocus} works, because it displays "Contacts".
And the selectedTab attribute works great if I hard-code it to "Contacts".

But the combo does nothing. Is this disabled because of Cross site scripting attacks? Or am I missing something? Any help appreciated.

At the end of the day, I'm trying to set the focus of a tab in a tab panel in this VF page when returning from a different page in the app.

Thanks,

I had the same issue, solution perfectly suits my requirement.
 
Use "Value"  attribute instead of "selectedTab" attribute. The latter only helps setting default landing tab.
 
Thanks,

Just do this 
 
selectedTab="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.tab}"
 
instead of 
 
value="{!$CurrentPage.parameters.tab}"
