If I hit tab twice, then my target changes. This translates into the mod only checking to see if one mob is attacking the priest (or other char) 8 times and then exiting. This gave me a false positive sense when I was initially testing, because often I would be testing with only 1 or 2 mobs, and I knew that at least one was targeting the priest. In those situations, it is a higher probability that the first tab from the priest was going to be a mob attacking said priest. The mod would then see that target and then change to it. Everything was happy.
If, on the other hand, you highlight your priest, hit tab, get a target, assist that target, find you targeting yourself, hit tab again, you end up targeting the same mob again, and it again is showing as targeting you.
The tabs need to incriment on each pass. This means that on the first check, one tab is adequite, then on the second check, tab needs to happen twice, on the third pass 3 times etc.
Does this make sense?

Unfortunately it does make a lot of sense. I originally thought this might be the case, and I had made the assumption that your testing had shown this wasn't necessary. The WoW forum thread was asking this same question, which I now know I answered incorrectly :(
I like your suggested solution -- it's an easy one to implement, and knowing that this problem actually exists seems to make more sense. The question of what seems to reset the tab targeting is more consistent in my feeble brain this way.
I'll make those changes and post here again when I've uploaded the fixed version so you can give it a try.
