When aria-hidden is used to hide content, the content remains visible in NVDA when using IE 8 and 9, Firefox, and Chrome.

The following sample demonstrates this behavior.

Lots of page content here.
Lightbox content.

When displayed in the browser, NVDA should only see "Lightbox content". Instead, it sees all of the content as though aria-hidden wasn't present.

I also tested this using JAWS and Voiceover with the following results:
Works correctly using Voiceover in iOS Safari.
Works correctly using JAWS 12 and 13 in both Firefox and Chrome.
Works correctly using JAWS 13 in both IE 8 and 9.
 
 It's just NVDA where this doesn't work correctly.
