I can confirm, that this works at the start of a session, but not later on.

To reproduce: 

1) open a two layer layout
2) switch off visibility of the bottom layer group   
3) press [ctrl-shift-tab]
The top layer group becomes invisible and the bottom group gets visible. 
Top silk is displayed with farside color. Bottom silk comes to front.

4) press [ctrl-shift-tab] again restores the view at step 2)
5) toggle the visibility of the top layer group twice.
6) press [ctrl-shift-tab]
The top layer group keeps its visibility. The bottom layer group remains 
invisible. However, top silk is displayed with farside color and Bottom 
silk comes to front.

The other tab-combos do the same, except that they add various rotations
and mirroring to the mix.

The version of PCB currently shipped with debian ( PCB_20100929-2 ) shows
the same inconsistent behavior.
