Don, in this case the keyboard restriction is desirable. The user would still need to be able to close the dialog with the keyboard and return to normal keyboard navigation when the modal dialog is dismissed -- hence there is not a trap. This is equivalent to the same experience for a mouse user that is prohibited from accessing content outside the modal dialog.
