The strange thing is this actually worked with beta 2 and higher on Ti SDK 3.1.1, but stopped working with 3.1.2. A wild guess: beta 1 relied on tintColor, even for older apps, hence it didn't work then. Beta 2 changed that so old apps could rely on barColor again, but Ti SDK 3.1.2 started using tintColor on iOS 7, but when building apps with iOS SDK 6 it should still use barColor.

Test Code used

   var tabGrp = Ti.UI.createTabGroup({
   	backgroundColor:'white',
   	orientationModes:[Ti.UI.PORTRAIT,Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT,Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT]
   })
   
   var win1 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	title: "Comments", 
   	barColor: "#111", 
   	backgroundColor: "#eee"
   })
   
   var win2 = Ti.UI.createWindow({
   	backgroundColor:'green',
   	title:'two'
   })
   
   var tab1 = Ti.UI.createTab({
   	window:win1,
   	title:'TAB1'
   })
   var tab2 = Ti.UI.createTab({
   	window:win2,
   	title:'TAB2'
   })
   
   tabGrp.addTab(tab1)
   tabGrp.addTab(tab2)
   
   tabGrp.open();

See screenshots above. Bar color does apply. The difference in color is due to the "translucent" property of window (true on IOS7+ and false on older versions). Setting translucent to false gets you the same color on IOS7 as on IOS6. Going to mark this as invalid.
