Sorry to take so long to get back to you on this.
The problem is that there is another OOo dialog
coming up before the ASCII Filter Options dialog.

It's something like:

 This document may contain formatting or content that cannot be
 saved in the Text Encoded file format. Do you wish to save the
 document in this format anyway?

There are Yes and No buttons and a "Do not show this warning
again" checkbox.

Unfortunately the text for this dialog is not being spoken.
When it first comes up it just tells you the focus is on the
No button.

I'll file an Orca bug on this (and probably an underlying OOo
bug that we can track).
