In Linux the library ATK offers support for accessibility regardless
of the widgetset tecnology utilized. And it works fine with the system
of 1 X11 handle per form.

The documentation of Qt says that it supports accessibility in
Windows: http://doc.qt.nokia.com/4.7-snapshot/accessible.html

They have (or at least had till some time before Nokia sold it off) a
lot of money, so I bet they could go at any lengths to implement their
accessibility support, even if they had to create fake window handles
only to get accessibility messages for every control.
