Sadly, this makes perfect sense and was my personal reaction as

For those of you who favor a Machiavellian explanations for
Microsoft making Office 08 not accessible with VoiceOver try out
this which came across my email today.
The reason Microsoft Office 08 for mac is not accessible with
VoiceOver is to protect the Windows screen reader market. Face it
one of the major applications that schools, government and
businesses buy screen readers to work with is Office and if the Mac
version of Office were usable with VoiceOver schools, government and
businesses could just buy a Mac and Office and be done with it. This
would weaken the Windows screen reader market which Microsoft need
to be able to sell to government accounts.
