Hi Brian, This is the issue with VoiceOver and sierra that was discussed last year. Apple is aware of the issue and there are other focus issues with VoiceOver in Sierra. Yes, it is annoying that focus has sort of a "ghost remembrance" of what was previously in focus. There's no specific work-around except that, if you use the Inspector to bring up, say, the plug-in window rather than interacting, focus goes back to the track you were on before opening the plug-in window.
As far as hot spots go, you need to make sure that the hot spot is set to the table itself rather than a focused track, of course. Also, you might have to reset a hot spot since the OS update. I'm not sure if voiceOver focus in general has changed somewhat in Sierra but it might be worth resetting the hotspot. Incidentally, you can simply press Control+Option+j to jump to the track list table and you should automatically be placed on the first selected track.
