I looked a little deeper. There was a problem like you report.
I gave you the wrong bug number earlier. Try:

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=517026

This is an atk/gail bug and it's still open. We are currently
working around it in Orca by rejecting focus change events for
defunct objects. If you are using the latest Orca, I'm surprised
to see that it's still a problem for you.

Just to make sure, I retested this with Orca from SVN trunk and
latest Ubuntu Hardy.

I created a folder called "AAA" (so it was the first one) in my home
directory and touch'ed two files in it called "a" and "b". I then
deleted them with Shift-Delete under the following conditions:

1/ "a" followed by "b" and also "b" followed by "a".
2/ With "View as Icon" and also "View as List"
3/ With Edit->Preferences Behavior-Trash "Ask before emptying the
   Trash or deleted files" checked and unchecked.

I had no problems deleting the files and speech wasn't lost and Orca
didn't crash as a result of deleting the last file in the directory.
