I had a quick look at this.
In Geany, we use an ordinary GtkMessageDialog widget which by default
seems to make the labels sensitive to receiving the focus. 

In contrary, Sylpheed doesn't use a GtkMessageDialog instead they use a
more generic GtkDialog and put GtkLabel widgets in it manually.
This seems more wrong to me, at least unnecessary complex.

So, I think most GTK applications behave like Geany, rather few like
Sylpheed behave differently.

Though I see that "feature" of label texts being sensitive for tabbing
isn't really good. So, if it should be fixed/changed in GTK not Geany,
IMHO.
