Have you tried turning on Orca debugging, and checking in ~/.xsession-errors
for any relevant error messages?

It would also be worth looking at your kernel logs in case an important
desktop component (at-spi, for example, as you suggest) crashes.

If you can collect proper error reports, it should be a lot easier for the
Orca and GNOME accessibility developers to solve the issue.
