You know I am inclined to agree because I just did a little testing here and found that DN behaved as advertised and I got no audible notification in the lock screen. In fact I would suspect when DN is activated (whether manually or via schedule) you should not have any visual or audible alert since DN means exactly that. So, perhaps rebooting and see what happens is the solution. I do recall trying this and I did get an alert in the lock screen which leads to believe me that the problem is not a VO problem, but a problem perhaps with DN. DN seems to do more than just silence the ringer and other sounds because if you call you are shunted to voicemail immediately. So, if something does not happen as it should it could have some odd results.
