Yes it is a bug. Or would you prefer that VO not work with keyboard
focus navigation at all? Bottom line, if VO doesn't report something
correctly, it is most certainly a bug. There's a workaround to this
one in using the VO keys, but it's not nearly as fast as being able to
press shift-tab once, for example. This means some of us are now less
efficient. Not a big deal in iTunes, but what if it were to have
happened in,say, Mail?
A bug is a bug, and this kind of thing should have been caught by
Apple before the release, seeing as how this is a major regression.

The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a
thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot
possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to
get at or repair.
