I thought that the original post concerned different behavior between Safari/VoiceOver vs. windows based screen readers. So the problem becomes how do you provide instructions when what you need to do is different based upon the OS/AT/Browser combination. I could see the instructions becoming very unwieldy very fast. Not to mention that most organizations do not even possess the expertise to manage that level of detail in the instructions. For example we are strictly a Microsoft house and when we are lucky our developers understand how to use JAWS with IE. Macs are confined to our graphic designers who think that AT stands for Artistic Trauma and that VoiceOver is something performed by David Attenborough.
