It does not Birkir. I even tried the display property when I was testing it back in August, but was unable to get anywhere with it.
Unfortunately Øyvind, you would have to live with it. If you do find a fix, I'd be interested in learning about it.

I doubt there is.
You can try<span role="presentation"> but since they rae spans to begin with I doubt that Voiceover will act any different.
What does Voiceover do when you navigate by headings (select from the naigate by headings option from the rotor)?
