Description
If I open a link in a new background tab, with or without f-mode, and trigger visitPreviousTab it does not go to the newly opened tab.
This differs from Firefox's Ctrl + TAB which will visit the most recently opened tab in the same situation.

Research direction
Start by locating the visitPreviousTab command and the tab-opening behavior involved when a link opens in a background tab, then reproduce the report with and without f-mode. Compare the result with Firefox's Ctrl+TAB behavior; done means visitPreviousTab selects the most recently opened tab in both cases.
