I have now lost VO one time using this technique out of seven times I have used 
the technique on my iPhone 5. In addition to losing VO, my braille display 
would not connect after I started VO with iTunes. Also, VO was set to factory 
defaults. I had to do another power home reboot before the braille display 
drivers would load properly again. This is a fascinating little bug.
