Not really, the same thing happens all the time in the Windows world. It is rare that alternative input systems (switch access, membrane keyboards, voice recognition, augmentative communication systems, I could go on) are compatible with screen readers. JAWS for a long time was not even compatible with Sticky Keys, and even now the work around is a clumsy alternative (since JAWS turns the insert key into a modifier key). I am rather delighted how perfectly useable VoiceOver is with Sticky Keys.
