I think the file selection dialogue may be a GNOME component rather than a
LIbreOffice one, but I'm not sure.

Also, there were changes made to improve the accessibility support for ATK and
AT-SPI in LibreOffice during the development of version 4.3. It is possible
that Orca 3.12 doesn't yet support those changes.
I would suggest raising this on the Orca list rather than on a Debian list, as
you will find much greater expertise there, including people who know what
bugs have been fixed and whether associated changes are needed in Orca.
