These work when using ChromeVox, so I assume this is a JAWS-specific bug
(maybe to do with having multiple alerts on the page when the site is
not in production mode). Closing, but feel free to reopen if something
like this crops up again.

Title:
  Alerts and status messages should be ARIA alerts

Status in Mahara:
  Won't Fix

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 )
