Hi, I am having the same issue even with Lion. I've found that most of the time, if I press the keyboard shortcut for going to desktop VO-Shift-D, VoiceOver comes back speaking. Give that a try. Also, a lot of times, it's because I have Safari running. If I quit Safari, this problem doesn't happen as often.
