Hi, I believe that this behaviour can only be duplicated when using some of the other voices available in Mountain Lion. When Alex is the speaking voice, VO simply reads "cap-a" or "cap-b" but if you use some of the compact voices and, from what I can tell, most of the other English voices, both male and female, the behaviour you've mentioned is evident. Check it out for yourself and you may wish to add those details to your Apple Accessibility report.
