Yes:
I believe I've filed a bug to Apple about this. Pretty sure it is a
known issue.

As an aside, but yet related to this topic, I've noticed a very
annoying behavior with Text Edit lately that I can't quite figure
out how to really reproduce consistantly. Basically if I'm editing
a text document, I switch to lets say Mail and come back later to
Text Edit, the arrow keys will not read the text any longer. Its
almost as though the Edit area is locked from me reading it with
the regular cursor, but yet I can read it fine by navigating it
with VO. It actually appears as though its locked as I can't seem
to edit anything. Only quiting Text Edit resolve the problem.
I have exactly the same trouble with TextEdit, but as I haven't
found any consistent reason for this happening, I haven't reported
it to Apple. I don't even have to switch apps for it to occur, just
go into the Styles area and then return to the body of the text.
But it is not consistent.
