I have the impression that 'Skip Navigation' Links are mainly for
screen-readers, since listening through all the navigation babble at the
beginning of every page can be extremely frustrating. As such I would also
assume that subsequent tabbing / arrowing / whatever should continue from
there on forward, i.e. go to the nexts link(s) in the actual content.

Top navigation as such is (when properly implemented) a small nuisance at
the most for text-browsers, since it is usually easy to skip the navigation
anyway pretty fast, whereas with screen readers it could be very tedious.
