 Tested with NVDA on top of FF30 on Windows 7 64 bit.

 It's possible to tab to the various sidebar areas using a screen reader -
 fairly good feedback. Hitting Enter to open the list of widgets works too.
 But when tabbing between the individual widgets, NVDA is not announcing
 the widget name but instead a string such as "customize
 return=%2Fsrc%2Fwp-a… link".

 So the screen reader user doesn't know which widget has focus.

 A similar result was found when using JAWS on top of IE10.

 Expected result: The screen reader should announce widget name.
