That doesn't sound like a problem to me - they will hear the heading when they navigate downwards. The only way to be absolutely sure is to do some user testing, but personally I would focus my resources on more important issues.

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.
