Hi Shawn, the setting in the dictation and speech preferences to speak alerts is separate from VoiceOver, so it should work whether or not you have VoiceOver running. If it doesn't, I'm not sure what may be going on.

I still use Growl because 1, that built in feature you speak of to automatically read alerts only reads alerts and 2, There's no way to my knowledge to have notifications from the notification center speak automatically if someone turns off Voiceover like I do when I'm doing something in VMWare Fusion or playing RS Games. Also in new versions of Skype due to them stopping support for Growl, in my experience Voiceover doesn't read incoming IMs sometimes when in the chat window. That's why having Skype 6.15 and Growl is a good combination. Also I have Growl set to work with Night Owl to read my tweets automatically since Voiceover doesn't handle having multiple tweets thrown at it in the notification center. Also, until I can find an accessible weather client to replace Menuweather or Orbis as it's called now, Growl and Omnigrowl will have to do.
