Description
on quick inspection the value of the input element does seem to get updated with "Previous Choices" and "More Choices" but the screen reader doesn't speak the new value. One option is to add a call to wai.setAttr() to update the valuenow for the input element. However, if you do this in _autoCompleteText() the regular options get spoken twice when you arrow to them. This may have something to do with pageup/down being pressed rather than up/down - need to check with screen reader vendors.

I added code to set the valuenow attribute and now page up and down are spoken correctly. There is double annoucements of the value when pressing up and down. However, the only msaa event fired is a valuechange event. Rob Gallo at Freedom Scientific said he'll work on the double speaking issue. I am sending a patch to Becky.
