True, I didn't think about turning the volume down, it just struck me as odd that VO would report the screen being locked when muted, yet it says nothing else. It almost looked like it was a bug, and not an intentional feature.

That would not be good. Also, here's a thought. How loud do you keep your phone turned up, particularly when you are going to be in those situations? Pressing the volume down button so that you have more of a private listening situation could help if you are going to be embarrasssed by a possible output of speech. Then if it were inserted into your pocket and the volume down at a more private listening level, I bet few if any would hear it and if they did they likely would not think about it or care. So what exactly are you advocating for here in your message?
