Sarah,
Interesting about Macintosh only I didn't get that feeling when I was visiting Brandeis. In any case, Macintoshes VoiceOver has a idea of interacting and stop interacting that can be "interesting". It sounds like the menu might be considered a grouping by VoiceOver that one would need to interact with to read the individual items. You might be able to have a aria-label for the group, I have noticed some things like this on my sites but currently supporting VoiceOver is lower on my priorities so I have not tried to see how to control this.
I believe role=group or role=section causes VoiceOver to group items. Certainly one place you can see grouping in actin is on the FaceBook page where each posting is in its own article. I believe the BETA versions of Safari handle articles differently when working with VoiceOver.
Shalom,
Jonathan Cohn
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn
