Turns out the problem was that the kernel can't output to multiple
consoles. I thought it could output to all consoles specified as
console parameters to the kernel. After specifying tty1 as the only
console in cmdline.txt, I rebooted, waited a couple of minutes to be
sure, and typed in the password to devrypt mmcblk0p2 on the usb
keyboard. Lo and behold, about 30 seconds after that I heard orca
announce "screen reader on" through the rpi's 3.5M audio jack.

For the record, the only usb modules I have in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules at this point are:

usbhid, hid, and hid_generic in that order. Thanks for the suggestion
anyway Tito.
