I have found the following bug in the address book with VoiceOver:

Field types are not voiced. When you navigate over a field the information expected is not voiced. For example in the Email field you will hear Work, Edit text blank but not the fact that the edit text field is expecting an email address. How would a blind person know what this field expected for content? This is true with all fields that have visual but not audible indications of the type of information expected.

Inconsistent voicing of text being entered. In a phone field for example it is common that VoiceOver will not voice the first number entered. Sometimes it fails to voice other letters or numbers.
