Comment (by alh0319):

 The Bulk actions error message is inserting text into the polite
 container:

 {{{
 <div id="a11y-speak-polite" class="a11y-speak-region" style="position:
 absolute;margin: -1px;padding: 0;height: 1px;width: 1px;overflow:
 hidden;clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);-webkit-clip-path: inset(50%);clip-
 path: inset(50%);border: 0;word-wrap: normal !important;" aria-
 live="polite" aria-relevant="additions text" aria-atomic="true">Please
 select at least one item to perform this action on.</div>
 }}}

 I retested that item and I can hear the error message in both NVDA and
 VoiceOver. It seems slower in VoiceOver (Chrome) so I may have just not
 paused long enough. I think that error message listed above can be
 considered a false positive.

 The remaining issue would be the success messages that are shown on page
 reload.
