Hi Eric, The Model Panel Focus button does seem to be broken. The case I tested was 3F5P with just chain A and ligand deleted as one model, and 3F5P just chain A with non-ligand deleted -- two models. Highlighting just the ligand model in Model Panel and pressing Focus in the Model Panel and then rotating soon sends the ligand out of view. The command "focus #1" (model 1 is the ligand) works correctly.

Condition #2. Open a protein and it's ligand in the same session followed by opening MODEL PANEL dialog. Selecting ligand and then focusing it from MODEL PANEL dialog, you will find Chimera do not focus the ligand once molecules are rotated. However, it works fine while selection and focusing are done through main menu.
"Focus" in the Model Panel focuses on the chosen model(s), not on the selection.
