Hello Stuart,
I just installed libreoffice 4.0 beta 1 on my computer at home and after
reboot LO wasn't accessible at all.
after i added the registry key it got partly accessible but many dialogs
are not useable at all.
for example the options dialog has issues tabbing tthrough or the export
as pdf dialog doesn't talk at all.
seems we have some LO issues there.
i had the feeling older versions of LO pre 3.5 had a nicer
accessibility. i also saw that calc does some strange things here. when
i enter data into cells and i go through the sheet it seems that there
is a strange toolbar which freaks out the screenreaders. tested here
with NVDA.
the dialog which pops up when you exit LO when you haven't saved
anything isn't accessible as well.
greetings,
simon

Simon,
Everything with Java Accessibility for the 4.0beta1 Windows build is working
correctly--to the extent that Java Access Bridge mappings allow and slow JRE
performance allows.
But, I have found installation is more consistent if you first remove per-user LibreOffice
configurations (both LO3 and LO-dev4) and to clear any Windows Registry entries for LibreOffice.
Also, in advance of the installation you should enable the Oracle Java Access Bridge support either
from the Ease of Access Center, or from a command prompt "Run as Administrator" where you
enter "jabswitch -enable".
Then, checking the "Support Assistive Technologies tools" during install will write a
system Environment Variable SAL_ACCESSIBILITY_ENABLED and set it to value of "1".
Since it is a system wide variable, in order for it to apply to your user
account you must log off and log back on.
When the value asserts, it will enable Java Runtime Environment with Java Access
Bridge enabled, and will toggle on the Tools -> Options -> Accessibility
checkbox.
An alternative to using the checkbox during installation is to create and run a
Widows Registry batch file for an account needing assistive technologies with
this content:
---<snip>---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\LibreOffice\Accessibility\AtToolSupport]
"SupportAssistiveTechnology"="true"
---<snip>---
I've provided a bit more detail in this Wiki
