It appears that PDF/A-1a does require a tagged PDF:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PDF/A#PDF.2FA-1

"PDF/A-1a includes all the requirements of PDF/A-1b and additionally requires:

* document structure must be included (hierarchy)
* Tagged PDF (use of alternative texts for images, tagging text spans and
giving them an ID, replacement texts for symbols)
..."

And ActualText does sound very similar:
http://webaim.org/discussion/mail_thread?thread=4817

"From Adobe's Help for InDesign CS 5.5:

"PDF also supports actual text, in addition to Alt text. Actual text can be
applied to graphic elements that visually look like text. For example, a
scanned TIFF image. Actual text is used to represent words that were
converted to artwork. Actual text is only applicable for tagged PDFs."

Sooo... I'm not sure. Perhaps we could ask someone at Adobe and/or at one of
these validator companies?
