Currently, the RadRibbonTab GetChildrenCore method doesn't create automation peers for the element in the ContentPresenter for the TabStripAdditionalContent.

At this point, you can enable this by creating a custom AutomationPeer that derives from RadGridViewAutomationPeer and override its GetChildrenCore() method. This way you can manually create the peer for the AdditionalTabStripContent. This idea is shown in the attached project.
