Is there a particular pattern to avoid to improve chances of in page links accurately working for all users? Also, for those combinations of AT and browser where the in page links don't both visually and focusable move to the referenced anchor are these just seen as as outstanding bugs by the accessibility community, or just another item to be aware of.

I'm a screen reader user. I never hit the skip link if there is one, because that causes so much chatter that it takes too long to figure out where I am once the verbalization settles down. That, and sometimes skip links don't work even though they are there.
