This sounds more like a problem with how the reveal functionality has 
been implemented. Does it use live regions when each bit is revealed? 
Are the buttons implemented as actual disclosure widgets, or just a 
button that then (silently) just shows a container of content somewhere?

I'd say try and fix this part (maybe even with scripting that 
monkey-patches the output of Captivate, if that's what the problem is), 
rather than trying to route around the core problem with hacky solutions.

(and as a short answer to the original question, it doesn't fail 2.4.11 
because the focused element isn't obscured/covered by some other content 
... by design, there IS no visible content, and it's not being 
overlaid/covered, so 2.4.11 doesn't apply)
