Is that surprising?
If you do have relevant contacts or influence at Apple, perhaps you
could get them to look into the issue for themselves and fix the blocker
bugs?
1. Mozilla developers have written to the Apple Developer support
mailing lists. That's a matter of public record; for example:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/accessibility-dev/2006/Oct/msg00005.html
2. They have unfixed bugs reported to Apple; Apple is aware of these
problems because they're in the Apple bug tracker.
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mac:Accessibility_Tasks lists some relevant
Apple bug numbers.
3. Aaron Leventhal talks regularly with WHATWG folks, who include
Maciej, an Apple Safari developer. It's not like developers at Apple
aren't aware of these problems.
Henri Sivonen has suggested that the problem may be that individual
Mozilla developers are trying to tackle these problems rather than
Mozilla the corporation:

If he's right, that might be part of the story of why Opera is ahead of
this game.
My impression, talking to WebKit developers, was that even WebKit
accessibility work was horribly under resourced, so I'm not that
surprised that Mozilla isn't getting much love.
