Why Shift+tab doesn't work on tabindex=0?

It's because the browsers determine that the previous tabbable element is the parent (since the chips are tabindex="-1" and the chip list is tabindex="0"). When the parent receives focus, it forwards it back to the first chip. As an aside, Firefox also tabs into the parent when tabbing forward.
