Can confirm also affection x86-64 (AMD64) platforms. 

While the NVDA screen reader (v 2012.1) is fully functional, LibreOffice
v3.5.4rc2, appears to have Java Access Bridge dependencies preventing correct
function of accessibility tools. The external NVDA screen reader will only read
single lines from LO documents response to mouse actions, but NVDA "cursor
selection" does not follow LO active text selection--believe accessibility
support must be enabled to function correctly.   Setting LO Tools -> Options
--> Accessibility "Support assistive technology tools (program restart
required) check box responds with message "LibreOffice 3.5 requires Java Access
Bridge 1.0.3 or later version to support accessibility".

Install Oracle Java Access Bridge (v 2.0.2 - 2012/04/18)--Windows 7 sp1 64bit--
following manual setup instructions:
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/accessbridge/2.0.2/setup.htm 

Then setting LO Tools -> Options -> Accessibility  "Support assistive
technology tools.." check box causes LO to close with this Event log:
Faulting application name: soffice.bin, version: 3.5.4.2, time stamp:

With no Java Access Bridge -- accessibility plug-ins and external tools are not
functional for a broad class of previously supported users.
