Solved by focusing the result message after the notepad operation is complete. I think that's an acceptable compromise for ensuring that users of assistive tools are informed about the result even if the focus is moved to a different UI element (which, in general, should be avoided because users can get lost).

Additionally, the progress message is focus while the notepad is processed. Most likely the progress message is never fully read to the user because either some other window pops up (e.g. pinentry or import progress dialog) or the operation is quickly completed.
