Re: [External Sender] NVDA not announcing the Legend tag

This sounds like the same issue.

NVDA does not read the legend of a fieldset in browse mode.
It only announces the legend if application mode is triggered (e.g.
for radio buttons or dropdowns)

The issue was filed because of a fieldset containing checkboxes, but
the same applies to a fieldset containing only buttons, neither of
these control types trigger NVDA's application mode.
The best you can do is to comment on the issue, I can do the same.
Also trigger a Twitter conversation with the NVDA team to try and put
it higher on their stack of issues. It's been sitting there for 4 or 5
years now.
