> Using NVDA and FF we always encounter this. I don't think you can do something to fix it. We earlier used to treat this as empty tab stop but later realized that is a browser bug than a developer problem.

My solution to NVDA not announcing anything on the iframe is to place a container around the iframe with a region role and provide an accessible name on the surrounding region. When tabbing NVDA will announce the name of the region because it announces the name of a region change on tab.
