This seems like the right direction to me.
Accidentally focusing a few times should be a useful discovery experience - a way of learning about focus.
The problem now is simply that the user interface doesn't tell you what has happened, and doesn't explain the notion of focus, so the learning opportunity is lost, and the user is left confused ...
Improving the road signs does sound more promising than throwing up road blocks and making it harder to get into town ...
