Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch Orca and Empathy
2. Arrow around in the contact list.

Expected results: Orca would correctly speak each contact and group.

Actual results: Orca speaks different contacts and groups (i.e. items other than those which are displayed).

Disclaimer: We (Orca team) have not yet implemented support for Empathy; we're just getting started on doing so. However, even "out of the box" things shouldn't be quite this wonky. :-)

A useful tool when getting to the bottom of such issues is Accerciser. When I used it to compare what was being exposed to assistive technologies by Empathy with what Orca was saying, I found that the two corresponded. Somehow Empathy's accessible hierarchy is broken. I will attach a screenshot which will hopefully help illustrate what I'm talking about.

Thanks!
