In iOS 7, it is not currently possible to edit the contact fields using VO. You currently need to delete the field and start over after the contact has been saved. Though annoying, since contact information does not change much, it can be worked around.
I have now experienced the same behaviour in notes. Thus far, it has only happened to one note, but nothing I tried corrected the issue. My solution in that case was to get the select function activated, turn the rotor to edit, flick to select all, flick to copy, create a new note, rotor to edit, and flick to paste. The new (replacement) note has not yet had any problems. Unfortunately, this means Apple may well have a difficult time tracking this one down as I cannot reliably reproduce it.
