I need to investigate. I'm not sure how this works in TI API. There are other ways to get active tabs that do not rely on the static var. Do we know if this is an Alloy issue?

It's possible this is a context issue Alloy runs and generates single context apps.

Ti.UI.currentTab is no valid in single context applications

This is not clearly documented. Please add to the documentation.
