Comment (by mercime):

 @imath unfortunately the automated accessibility check missed what a
 manual check (second step) would have found in the Avatar UI as reported
 in forums https://buddypress.org/support/topic/request-feature-
 improvement-to-help-visually-challenged-people/

 Confirmed the issue reported above using keyboard navigation: Use `Tab`
 key to navigate the profile photo upload page, and then use the `Enter`
 key to open up the file selection window when you focus on the `input`.
 Keyboard navigation works in `wp-admin/media-new.php` upload UI where the
 `Space bar` in addition to the `Enter` key works in this case because
 `input type="button"`, same as in the `_attachment/uploader.php`.

 Would appreciate your help in resolving this for the blind BP user.
 Thanks.
