JAWS/IE 11 not announcing aria-live regions?

Hi all,

I'm working with a client on a carousel issue where JAWS (2019)/IE11 is
not announcing aria-live (polite) regions. I've tested a bunch of
aria-live set ups on that combo and I'm noticing that it is very
inconsistent. Does anyone have any insight on this? Is there a way to
ensure that JAWS/IE11 will reliable announce aria-live?

Even the WAI Aria Best Practices 1.1 carousel example fails:

Thanks!
