Work arounds aside, it is a bug and Apple needs to be bugged to fix it.
I did speak with the Apple engineer and he said that it will continue to
be reported as a bug and likely will be fixed within one of the updates
to iOS 8 that will be released in the next few weeks. I had the feeling
that if there aren't enough people making noise about this the problem
won't be brought to the top of the pile of problems. Also, as someone on
this list pointed out, the bug has been reported in a beta cycle, so it
isn't an unknown problem. If noise isn't made it won't get resolved.
Making noise on here or on Twitter is good to get the word out about the
problem so that if people who make significant use of the keyboard don't
want to be inconvenienced they can stick with iOS 7, but contacting
Apple in your preferred manner and letting them know that making it
inconvenient to use a Bluetooth keyboard is an unacceptable
accessibility "feature" is also a good idea.. They seemed receptive to
addressing user issues.
Cheers!

Has anyone else had problems with doing some of the common Voice Over Gestures
on a Bluetooth keyboard since upgrading to iOS 8? I've been in contact with
Apple about this and it would help to tell them if others are having the same
problem. Which keyboard brand are you using if you aren't having issues? I've
tried 2 keyboards and commands like VO-SPACEBAR simply do nothing. Would love
to hear how it is working for others. I've got an escalated call set up with
Apple for later today.
Thanks,
