I've noticed the accessible state being revealed as 'clickable- when there is an 'on click- JavaScript event handler on the BODY element. You may also have an element relying on device-dependent handlers such as a mouse click to operate the control without having the proper accessible role associated with the control.

Can you share the site you're testing? It may be that things are mislabeled (role="button" and similar issues).
