On web pages there are real menus created using the select element and
options within that select. Some sites choose to fake this behavior with
piles of spans, divs, css and javascript event handlers. There are lots
of reasons they do this such as making a consistent look and feel
between different platforms or funky hierarchical menus. Some developers
create these themselves from scratch but most use various toolkits like
jQueryUI or DOJO. Depending on what toolkit they pick the menus have
widely varying degrees of accessibility. The "native" menus work just
fine in Safari but depending on what site you are on the fake ones might
have missed a keyboard event or left out some accessible rich internet
application (ARIA) markup. I suspect most of the time the fake menus
(and sliders, and modal dialogs and…) are not implemented correctly
rather than it being a problem with voiceover.

I have had this problem. I actually thought at the time something was wrong
with the web site. To overcome this, I'd visit the same site on my Work's
Windows machine. I know I'm cheating.

Ditto. It’s a problem. When you find a page, tell Apple, for heaven’s sake,
or it’ll never get sorted out.
Cheers.
