Hello,

Do you use tabbar from <https://github.com/dholm/tabbar>?  I see there:

  tabbar-default
  tabbar-unselected
  tabbar-selected
  tabbar-modified
  tabbar-highlight
  tabbar-separator
  tabbar-button
  tabbar-button-highlight

but not `tabbar-selected-highlight' and `tabbar-selected-modified'.

But you seem to ask only about `tabbar-selected'.  I don't see problems
with that part.  I tried analagous code in my themes and it works.  The
only thought I have about that is: perhaps you have another line with
"tabbar-selected" somewhere in your theme which overrides that one.
If not, try your theme with "emacs -Q".
