Thanks for reporting this and the detailed steps.
Reproduced on Simple with Gutenberg 10.5.4
On AT site with Gutenberg 10.7.1 I could only enter 1 speaker's dialogue. Pressing Enter would not move to the next speaker.

I am reclassifying this as a bug.
What
The keyboard workflow for manually entering a Conversation block can be a bit confusing, specifically around entering speaker names.
Namely, after entering a frist speaker's name, it's difficult to add a new speaker on the next line using just the keyboard. This is because as soon as there is a speaker added, any time you are typing in a new speaker block, it pulls up a pop-up with existing speakers, and pressing enter will change the speaker to the default selected speaker in that popup.
Instead, it would be better for a new option to be added to that popup that says "[Add New Speaker]", or something like that. Users can arrow down to pick an existing speaker, but by default, if they enter a new name and hit enter, it would respect what they just entered.
Why
Transcribing a long conversation manually would be fastest just with the keyboard, but doing so for multiple different speakers is confusing!
How
This gif should show the workflow - I'm adding a conversation and entering three different names, but as I type the new name and hit enter, it just selects the first name, "Dan."
