Hi James, Audible did this on my 4S with iOS 6 as well sometimes. However, in my case Voiceover would usually say "Screen dimmed" and normally shortly after one would expect it to say "Screen Locked" and then that's that. However, when it did this it would continue to say Screnn Dimmed maybe every 30 or 40 seconds and the only way to shut it up was for me to manually press the power button to lock the screen.
I just experimented on my 4S, I played an Audible book and left focus in the app, but it behaved as it should, after a while it said "Screen Dimmed" and shortly after "Screen Locked". I left it playing for about 2 minutes and the screen remained dead with only the book playing. I then did the same but instead of leaving the app open I exited to the home screen, then waited while the book was playing and Voiceover would again say Screen Dimmed and a bit later Screen Locked and all was good. It appears that pressing a volume button on the phone or the headset brings the screen to live somewhat because if the screen is locked and I raise or lower the volume, Voiceover will say "Screen Locked" after just a few seconds even though when you touch the screen during that time it does not react. I will have to ask a sighted person whether you can actually see maybe the Playback controls and volume at that point or not. If the screen remains black then this Voiceover "Screen Locked" message is a bug. Sorry that I couldn't help more, maybe try to remove all apps from the app switcher and reboot your phone if you haven't done so already.
