Things should be working now. Make sure you don't enter any info into the
fields.

http://www.webhipster.com/testing/accessibility/alert/

These are the results with the limited testing I've had time to do:

Jaws 11
IE 8 (repeats errors)
FF 3.6

Jaws 12
IE 8/9 (repeats errors)
FF 3.6/4

NVDA 2011.2
IE 8/9 (repeats errors and does not read focused input)
FF 3.6/4 (does not read anything)

VoiceOver
Lion (only reads input)

Not the worst results I've had... I think I'm just going to can this idea.
Too bad. It would be nice to have all the errors read once on a page
refresh and the first form field focused which would of course be read as
well.
