FF2/3: The accessible value of the dojo textareaa is a bunch of javascript. It should be the text visible in the text field.
IE6/7: The accessible value of the dojo textarea is not set; the text is found on the accessible name which is not correct. The accessible name is typically set to the label text.

I was wrong about this. The role that gets focus is a pane and the Window-Eyes screen reader fetches the text child below it in the accessible hierarchy. Window-Eyes works well. JAWS will need some work. Window-Eyes doesn't work well with IE 6/7 so that will need work too.
I am closing this.

This is actually an issue with the textarea widget. It prevents the screen reader from speaking the text value in the field.
