No, But I have done a study of visually impaired users of e-services typical of those used by public libraries if it helps. http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00002493/ One thing to be careful of is that blind people using screen readers do not use the systems in the same way as visually impaired people. If you are visually impaired and use magnification you can still scan the page in parallel. The way you suggest is worth getting potential suppliers to demonstrate with new products (or upgrades) (i.e. get someone local who is blind to try it out with their own equipment!)

Or had a user with a visual impairment tried to use it? Or tested it for accessibility in any other way? Or do you know of any work in this area? If the answer to any of these is yes, then please do get in touch. I will summarise any findings for the lists. I can't see anything on the Informs site, or in either list archive.
