Thanks for verifying.  This is now installed in trunk, and the bug is closed.

PS: Note that (fboundp 'select-frame-set-input-focus) is added
for the case when Ediff is used with some other Emacs versions.
Its else-branch is like in `gnus-select-frame-set-input-focus'
in gnus-util.el.

    revno: 109655
    branch-nick: trunk

1. C-x C-f <some modified file>
2. M-x vc-ediff
3. Press `n' in the control panel
4. Note that the one of the src buffer - buffer B specifically - becomes
   receives focus (or whatever you call it)
5. Pressing another `n' and it modifies the src buffer.  

I would expect that focus never leave the ediff control panel.

Seems like a recent regression to me.
