Trouble is that if reading stops, it's not clear where you've landed. If STMC's activated and all a user hears is "blank", it doesn't provide much clarity.

that sounds like expected behavior. You activate the skip, you jumped to the start of the main content, then continue using readings keys or TAB to move forward from there.
