Is this new? It's actually something I'd expect when a long line is wrapped. 
The reason is that brltty first tries to move the cursor to the new screen line
with up/down arrows, and, if that fails, with left/right arrows. The algorithm
is actually even more complex than that, and, once in a while, the cursor bumps
into the end of a line or the top/bottom of the file which, depending on the
application, may cause a beep.  When you look at the screen you tend to know
how to use the arrow keys, but brltty, which hasn't been blessed with a brain
as intuitive as the ones God created within ourselves, makes a few guesses
until it gets it right.
