Actually these do seem to be marked as alerts - need to do more testing
to see if it's a problem with a particular screen reader or theme

Title:
  Alerts and status messages should be ARIA alerts

Status in Mahara:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When a form fails to submit (eg. an invalid login) or a request succeeds (eg. successfully deleting a page), a red or green alert is shown at the top of the page.
  However, this is not always obvious to screen reader users, so it would be good to explicitly mark this as an alert, probably using role="alert" ( see https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Accessibility/ARIA/ARIA_Techniques/Using_the_alert_role )
