HI Alex, For what it is worth, I just saw a very similar behavior this morning on my MacBook Air 11 inch. I was focused on the Messages app and not focused at all on Mail, and kept hearing VO say 'one row added' etc. as each new email message was downloaded.
So even though I was focused with VoiceOver in Messages, and reading / trying to respond to iMessages, VO was still announcing updates to my inbox in Mail. Cursor tracking was definitely on, and I was definitely focused in Messages and was able to type in the edit field. Though VO kept interrupting what I was doing... So I wonder if this is related to what you are seeing?... This is the first time I've seen this. This is definitely not only strange but downright obnoxious and counterproductive. :) Thanks for letting us know about what you are seeing.

If I leave my Downloads folder open, and I start downloading a new file, VO constantly starts saying the name of whatever file was last focused on in Downloads. I said "starts saying" because it happens so often, once a second if not more, that speech never gets more than a word or two in before beginning again. This happens even if I'm not in Finder or Safari at the time. The strangest part is that this is on my Macbook Air; my Mini never once did this. Any ideas?
