When used wisely, it does not violate accessibility standards.

One of the scenarios where I saw this causes a confusing loss of focus problem that violated WCAG 3.2.2 http://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20/#consistent-behavior is in Safari on OS X where the autofocus input was part of the constantly updated Angular.js application. In this case, Safari will continue to capture focus in the autofocus input when the area has been updated, which will result in loss of focus.
