VoiceOver: Tapping on UITextView results in strange selection and feedback

Product:iPhone SDK Product Version:iOS 6
Classification:Serious Bug Reproducible:Always
 
Summary:
When using VoiceOver in iOS 6, tapping on an UITextView that is not currently the first responder results in a tiny VoiceOver cursor selection on the left edge of the UITextView, instead of the contents/frame of the entire UITextView. In addition, VoiceOver does not read out the contents of the UITextView; it simply reads: "Empty line".

Steps to Reproduce:
Check out video of bug in Reminders.app:

Expected Results:
VoiceOver should select the entire frame of the UITextView when tapped upon, reading out the entire contents.

Actual Results:
VoiceOver frequently does not select or read anything meaningful.

Regression:
Swipe left/right selection works fine to select the UITextView.

Notes:
Bug does not seem present in iOS 5, but I've not done much testing.
