Goodness, yes, this one is very annoying. It's also a problem for keyboard, unless they did a lot of maneuvering with tabindex. You should check to see if the same problem persists with keyboard focus, because in that case it also fails 2.4.3.

However, when using the "Say all" or down arrow commands to read the page, the form field is read before the label. So it says, "Text, edit" and then tells what information is expected, "e-mail address", something I never came across before. I determined it seems this is due to the text box preceding the label in the DOM.
