Indeed; it’s the upgrades and botched / half-finished installs that are the real problem, and indeed, they seem to have been particularly dreadful with Mavericks and subsequently. I don’t believe this is especially VoiceOver specific, either—just look at the reviews on the Mac App Store.
Cycling VoiceOver during installation has never had any effect on the finished installation, for me. The reboots occur after the target partition is initially prepared, and when the system is booting into the finished installation. The second stage always starts with VoiceOver off and there is no harm in turning it on at that point to examine the installer progress. Once the install is finished, you will of course hear the familiar voice prompt telling you about VoiceOver—the same prompt that every person using a Mac hears. Simply make sure that you don’t interrupt the process from the moment you press the Install button, and you’ll be fine. -- The following information is important for all members of the Mac Visionaries list.
