Got a patch (or a commit) I can try?

It could easily be an Orca issue. The route we're taking, i.e. packing a
notification in a status bar, is one I think may prove useful in other
apps besides xboard. But the idea came to me as a result of trying to
help you solve this particular problem, so we're having to find and fix
the kinks as we go. Sounds like we're getting close though. :)
