[BRLTTY] could this be a bug?

It should read: BRLTTY-5.4-66-g8d46edbf
The braille is: ⡃⡗⡇⡞⡞⡽⠤⠢⠨⠲⠤⠖⠖⠤⠛⠦⠙⠲⠖⠑⠙⠃⠋

That doesn't look the same. Perhaps you could check your system log to be 
sure since that won't disappear.

Perhaps I've misunderstood something, then, because I thought that that was the 
problem (connecting the braille display after Orca had started) so I don't 
understand why going back to the old version would fix it.
