AFAIK, the latest released versions of orca and brltty handle it
correctly: usually Orca uses the default priority (50), except in flat
review mode, in which case it uses a higher priority (70). On the brltty
side, the a2 screen reader reports SCQ_GOOD for the terminal case, which
translates to default+10, so 60, so it'd be higher than what orca sets.
