I think what I'll do is send this to Apple and include the file in question and hope they can figure out what's going on. I find no brackets etc. so they must be undected or something.

I've not experienced this with pdf files (yet) but this happens all the time with source code in XTools, or even when loaded into text edit. As far as I can determine, there's some strange interaction with brackets, braces, tabs and dash characters that seems to trigger this behavior. Lines of code often have these characters in them, and it's very hit or miss as to whether any given line of code will read properly with vo. It's very frustrating, but as you discovered, a character by character reading sidetrip solves the problem. I've not reported it to apple, because I've not been able to pin down exactly what triggers it. My guess is that those characters are used for controling the voice internally, and certain combinations of them cause vo to think it's supposed to receive another command, and so it waits to get another command character before doing anything else. That's only a guess, but it's the best I've got.
