In what universe does Apple not support that? Particularly since that's pretty much step 1 of troubleshooting your phone in the event a restore doesn't work, since that kicks your phone back to the factory defaults. Which, yes, also means no voiceover. Get used to it, or stay close to your iTunes when you do it.
