Hi Mark, I have an iPhone 7 running iOS 10.1 beta, and I cannot reproduce this bug. I changed by auto lock to 30 seconds, then wt into the basics part of the iPhone user's guide. There I went and did the continuous reading and didn't notice this bug. I was using VO the whole time. I didn't try it with VO off. I hope that kind of helps you. If you need any more help, don't hesitate to ask.
