If the linked bug[0] is to be believed it sounds like JAWS are ignoring QT, rather than the other way around.

I'm not sure about that - it also mentions that Qt is incompatible with Microsoft Narrator. If it doesn't work with the screen reader that comes bundled with the operating system, it suggests Qt is doing something wrong.

A distinction without a difference, if you're trying to write accessible software. QT promised something it couldn't deliver.
