> I always call a fail on use of positive tabindex values, because those will break the focus order of the page.

It depends on the situation. If you have a page with two links and two input fields -- for example, a simple log in page -- there is no harm in using a positive tabindex to order the interactive elements. In general use of a positive tabindex is a red flag for issues -- but it doesn't have to be an automatic failure as it's possible to pass using that technique.
