You're right. An element referred by aria-errormessage can be an alert of live region and thus should be announced by a screen reader, when it pops up. In this case, it seems the screen reader may need to find a context element, and if this is true, then the reverse relation is needed.
aria-details are different, since they are more like labels and descriptions, and I guess thus they should be skipped when navigating the virtual buffer. That suggests that aria-details either needs a role (or xml-roles object attribute) or a reverse relation.
