[macvoiceover] VO says "internal link," link doesn't function.

I came across this situation the other day when attempting to assist a Mac user 
who is running Lion.  When on a purchase page for a piece of software, 
VoiceOver said "internal link," before all the links she needed to click on.  
When she clicked, nothing happened--any kind of click, shift click, tap, double 
tap, etc.  We tried them all.

Eventually, the only way to use that webpage was to go through the Windows side 
with Explorer; all the links worked that way.

I have never heard VO say "internal link," when using Safari.  However, I'm 
running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard, so can anyone shed any light on this mystery, and 
how to get those links to activate?
Thanks. :)
