As you centered your GNOME 3 review on GNOME Shell, it is worth to
comment that as GNOME Shell is based on a modern toolkit, Clutter, and
not the "classic" gtk, there are some things that prevents him working
with Orca.

There are some bugs tracking the main issues [1][2][3], and they have
patches attached. You are free to test them and provide some feedback
(I know that this is a user list, and it is too much to ask that, but
just in case).

A more deep review of the current status of GNOME Shell accessibility
here [4]. It was written 2 months ago, but since, the only change is
that I updated my bugs.

If you want a status of the issues related with GNOME 3 as a whole,
take a look to this page [5].

Thanks for your interest.
