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.
