What about people using screen magnification? Wouldn't it be beneficial to them to have the "skip to..." links available at the upper left-hand corner of the screen?

Using display none may actually hide content from screen readers. Usually, I set an absolute position in conjunction with a negative em margin. This will hide the element from modern, graphical browsers. If you place the accessibility links at the top of your markup, it will be one of the first elements that disabled users will view.
