That email thread seems pretty healthy. Is this bug about getting consensus?

And by bug I mean action :)

This bug/action is about what the contents of the role mapping table should be for MSAA+IA2 when role="text".

James Teh repilied that IA2's mapping might be better if there is no accessible for the element, but IAccessibleText is implemented:
