> Please excuse my naiveté on this subject, but what are the options for
creating a target-able link for software like Dragon, JAWS, etc.? From
your description of Twitter's process, you said "Click settings" + "Click
Sign Out" worked, so maybe it's worth investigating why it works on
Twitter but not, say, on Facebook, then apply that logic to the floating
'Log out' link for !WordPress or even the link in the dropdown. Thoughts?

It is a good question. On the face of it the Twitter link which is a plain
text link of 'Settings and help' is moved off the screen in the same way
as the 'Log Out' link just after the WordPress admin toolbar. There is a
difference though in that the WP link has width and height both set to 1px
and overflow:hidden, whereas the Twitter link has a width of 98px, a
height of 12px and no overflow property set.
So maybe that's it? It is evident that Dragon does pay some heed to what
is in a stylesheet - in common with screen readers and other AT - so could
it be that Dragon interprets the small width, height and the
overflow:hidden as exposing none of the text?
I'm not really in a position to test this, but since the WP 'Log out' link
is moved so far off to the left, is it really necessary to constrain the
width and height, and to ensure overflow is hidden? I can see the styles
in question govern any .screen-reader-text items in the #wpadminbar so
there could be other implications for changing those properties. But it
might be worth a try?
