You can also hold down the home button again, you don't always have to double tap the listen button. As a side note, Siri spoke while Voiceover was on in iOS 5, with no issues, so I'm thinking it's a bug in 6.

This is because while Voice Over is enabled, Siri doesn't automagically speak just in case Voice Over's own voice might interfere. It's honestly annoying the way it does it, but it's always done it and I'm not sure of how Apple could make this better. So for that reason if I am going to be using Siri for a lot of things I just turn off Voice Over and do my thing. -- Raul A.
