However, if the general perception among those who
administer such software is that NVDA may be more dangerous, that still means
that the perception makes it as much a problem as if it were reality. So
how prevalent are such problems?

Anyone who suggests that open source software shouldn't be
allowed in a secure
environment doesn't understand the concept of peer
review and "we have nothing
to hide - look at our software and judge for
yourself (I don't mean the
average user, I mean security experts) whether
it's secure or not".
Proprietary software can hide all sorts of bugs and
backdoors the vendor wants
to behind the cloak of secrecy. That's not
the same as security.
