According to another person from the accessibility team, this is the expected behavior in browse mode:

and regarding the next query , If the user keeps pressing the down arrow, focus should stop at the last control.

Focus stops at the last control here, which is the GitHub link.

@tonyanziano - Agree with you hence closing the bug. In modal dialog it should go to the first control after reaching last control but not on the pages.
