On Windows, ATK is not useable and GTK doesn't utilise the

That means GTK is dead on arrival as far as cross-platform accessibility
goes.
Yup.
But then again so are probably .NET based solutions.
There is a project to make .net apps (running with Mono) accessible via
ATK in Linux. However, I don't know much about it.
Is there such
a thing as an accessible, cross-platform GUI framework?
I see that you're using wx widgets for NVDA. Does that fit the bill?
It's supposed to use mostly native widgets and thus be accessible on any
platform it supports. However, I did ask Eitan whether he would consider
using wx and he responded that there was some problem with wx
accessibility with GTK. I forget exactly what he said.
