This inconsistentcy is caused by inconsistency in the underlying GTK+ widgets. I 
have logged bug 67110 about this
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=67110

I think that GAIL is behaving correctly here. The "state-change" should be 
emitted by the accessible corresponding to the check button. It should identify 
the state "checked" and when the state is now on or off.

This behavior is incorrect. I believe that the behavior described in point 2 is 
correct.  I will attempt to correct GAIL.
