I can confirm. I got decent with VoiceOver as the "guy on the team who gives a shit about this" (unofficial title) and yeah, it stinks. Also, you don't necessarily move through the page linearly with a screen reader; the rotor lets you jump between links, or jump to forms, or jump to navs. The more semantic your markup, the better it will be populated.

It's worth noting that VoiceOver is well-known for being a lot more lax than most other screen readers. Other options tend to be a lot more strict around standards and what they'll announce.
