My current device is 4.3 (yes, a bit old), so reproducing may not be possible.

Are you able to get to it via the touch screen? If so, what's on the braille 
display when you're on it?

Have you disabled brltty's speech? If so, how? I just want to be sure that it 
isn't brltty that's doing the talking.

>Please tell me if you need/want more info, and I'll try to help.

I may end up needing screen dumps. Brltty can be set to log them.
