A great feature.
I tested with IE8, I can tab to the video, and access/operate all controls
EXCEPT the caption button to turn on/off or select languages. When any of
the buttons has focus the = and - keys also function to increase/decrease
the size of the captions.

Also tested with FF3. No keyboard access to the video. A known bug.

Anyone been able to get to the CC button with the keyboard in IE8?
