Hi my friend. i create a small example that contains your controls.
you are right. i think this behavior is because of Control.Property precedeny.
and you must write into xaml:

XML

<Grid>
        <TextBox Height="23" Width="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" LostFocus="TextBox_LostFocus"/>
        <TextBox Height="23" Width="80" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="100 80 0 0" KeyboardNavigation.IsTabStop="False"/>
        <Button x:Name="myButton" Content="first" Height="23" Width="80" VerticalAlignment="Top"/>
        <Button Content="second" Height="23" Width="80" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>
    </Grid>

and your code begind:

C#

private void TextBox_LostFocus(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
      {
          //your logic
          myButton.Focus();
      }

check this one..

C#

System.Threading.ThreadPool.QueueUserWorkItem(
                  (a) =>
                  {
                      btnName.Dispatcher.Invoke(
                      new Action(() =>
                      {
                          btnName.Focus();

                      }));
                  }
                  );
