I get much better success than you appear to with emacspeak terminal
mode and with gnome-terminal under Orca, the two screen readers I
commonly use in Debian.

Pinfo does appear to  kind of suck--it doesn't appear to have tab
completion on menu entries in the directory node, and I wish it left the
cursor somewhere more useful than it does.
But it appears slightly more useful to me in my environment than reading
docs with less, something I do all the time.

I definitely don't see the blank screen you're talking about.
I do sometimes see an empty screen with  something like Reading line
26/26 at the bottom, meaning that all the content has scrolled off the
top.
That doesn't sound like an accessibility problem so much as UI choices
that could be improved.
