The title says it all. Unlike previous iterations, this version of the bug does not appear to have any workarounds.

When customising a Lock Screen, it is possible to add a widget by dragging it from the palette of available widgets and also to arrange widgets on the screen by dragging. In neither case does VoiceOver provide any feedback to indicate that dragging of a widget has started or where it will be placed when released, such as “before Weather conditions widget”.

Wen customising the Lock Screen, there is a specific situation when VoiceOver will wrongly behave as if the “Show Notifications” button is visually present on screen and actionable.
It appears that this only occurs if prior to entering customisation mode the “Show Notifications” button is present on the Lock Screen so as to give access to old notifications.

When the user attempts to change the command assigned to a VoiceOver gesture, although it appears to have been selected correctly, the previous command is not always removed, meaning VoiceOver has two commands assigned to a single gesture. This causes issues when the user performs the gesture.

When customising a Lock screen, VoiceOver does not announce the name of the widget that is currently placed in the top slot. However, VoiceOver does speak the names of widgets placed in the other available slots.

When downloading an app from the App Store, VoiceOver speaks extraneous text prior to speaking the percentage progress of the download. This issue occurs both when downloading apps not previously on the device and when downloading updates.

Select a video in the Photos app, then select the Edit button.
You should then be able to trim the start or end point of the video by placing VoiceOver focus on the Start or End element, then swiping up or down to change the value.
You should then be able to find the Done button and select it to complete the edit.
However, the Done button is dimmed, and therefore cannot be selected.

There are numerous issues for VoiceOver users when using a hardware keyboard for text composition/editing.
Specifically, using a hardware keyboard to navigate long documents by paragraph or line is typically inconsistent and unreliable, as is attempting to select a paragraph of text.
For example, according to this Apple Support page, the Option-Up/Down Arrow shortcut should move VoiceOver focus (and the cursor) to the beginning or end of the paragraph.

When typing in most text fields, pressing dot 8 on the keyboard launches a menu instead of creating a new line.

In the Recents tab of the Phone app, there are rotor actions available on each entry in the list.
If you swipe up or down to Call, and double tap to select, nothing happens.
You can though make a call by simply double tapping on the default Activate option. New users in particular may find this causes confusion.

When you have set VoiceOver to use a secondary voice using the language rotor, it reverts to the primary voice when focused on items in the status bar.

When going back a screen (such as a webpage in Safari or a screen in an app), VoiceOver focus is usually placed at the top of the screen, instead of back on the element previously in focus. This occurs both in Safari and in various first- and third-party applications.

When bringing up the Notification Center through touch gestures or using the Perkins-Style keyboard, the connection between the display and iOS device will drop. If you have VoiceOver sounds enabled, you will hear the associated sound when this happens. This bug appears to be impacting all braille devices, but no other devices connected to iOS. This behavior has been tested under the Focus 14/40 Blue, Orbit Reader 40, and Brailliant BIX series.

Open an audio file in the Files app and press Play.
Place VoiceOver focus on the timeline scrubber control.
Swiping up or down should change your position in the audio track, in other words skip backwards or forwards.
This is not working.

When listening to audio on a wireless device such as AirPods, you may find that on occasions the volume level of audio playback will drop when your device goes to sleep.
When this occurs, the volume level indicator on your device does not change, just the level of audio playback itself.
Note that this is specifically the volume of the audio that you are playing, not the volume level of VoiceOver.

When navigating a list of emails in a folder in the Mail app and previews are enabled, VoiceOver will on occasions speak the wrong preview. For example, you may place VoiceOver focus on an email received from Bert. Instead of VoiceOver speaking the body of that email as the preview, it might instead speak the body of an email received from Ernie.

The App Library contains a series of app collections, which are created automatically based on categories such as Entertainment and Productivity..
These are displayed in blocks of four icons, in mini two by two grids. Each block generally contains three app icons and a folder containing the rest of your apps in that category.
Like a web page, not all of the content is on screen at any one time, depending on how many apps you have installed of course. So you can scroll with three fingers to find more.

To reproduce this behaviour you will need to have an existing conversation in the Messages app which has at least several dozen messages.
- Ensure that VoiceOver is enabled.
- Open the native Messages app.
- Place VoiceOver focus on to an existing conversation.
- Double-tap with 1 finger.
You should now be taken to the conversation.
Note where VoiceOver focus is placed in the thread.
It will typically be 8-12 positions above the most recent message in the thread.

When viewing the list of available Widgets which can be displayed on the Widgets area of the Notification Center, if there are new Widgets listed since you were last on this screen, VoiceOver does not announce the name of the Widget when you flick through the list. Instead, VoiceOver simply announces “New”.
