I believe your problem is caused by atspi2.0 moving into testing.
It's atspi2.0 2.0.2-2 which is 6 months old.
Try returning to atspi1.0 by installing the python-pyatspi package.  That conflicts
with the python-pyatspi2 package.

I find the best results are still using atspi1.0.  The atspi2.0 package you have is the latest available in Debian.
Once the latest atspi2.0 gets into Debian, accessibility with atspi2 should improve.
