Hello,
I think the issue can also be reproduced with Android 4.1.1 jelly bean and it 
even applies to the different input languages besides english.
E.G. I am using slovak android 4.1.1 with aosp keyboard set to slovak.
I can perfectly use talkback and explore by touch to use keyboard to type basic 
set of letters displayed when the keyboard is shownas is however I dont know 
how to reliably inwoke the bubble which is supposed to bring additional letters 
for example double tap the letter e in order to get an e with acute, e with 
diaresis in a bubble.
If I experiment a lot I can blindly tap and hold a letter for example letter e 
as explained above.
The bubble appears but is not accessible.
I think this is even more important to non english speaking people wishing to 
write messages, emails and all other stuff in their natural language aka mother 
tongue.
I think this should be addressed with high priority.

Cannot be fixed from TalkBack. Filed bug against Android keyboard.
