I did try that, but interestingly have had a reply from Apple Accessibility about this, and would urge anyone else experiencing this issue to write and ask about this too, as they need to know its quite a significant thing if they don't hurry along and find a resolution.
Accessibility told me... Thank you for your email. Safari 5.1 is available for Mac OS X 10.6, it was available through Software Updates. Due to changes in WebKit to bring it more in line with web standards if a single element on a webpage has an automatic refresh and does not report that correctly, Safari will continue to report “busy” to VoiceOver. Apple is investigating the issue, we are unable to comment on when it may be resolved. Apple Accessibility Of course this does make the point that technically its the fault of the web-site developers in question, but they seem to accept that the problem wasn't there before they, so to speak, fixed it... :).
