Jose, thanks for confirming that I am indeed not crazy. I'm glad it isn't just me.
Sieghard, I have actually done both of those things already, and the problem still persists (oh, and I have an IPhone 5). If ever I was concerned about the proximity sensor in the past, or was worried about the speaker inadvertently being engaged, I used to have the option of turning off vo with a triple home click, although now, regardless of at which point I am during the call (either placing it or it already being placed), I can no longer turn vo off--tribble clicking home does not seem to disable vo when I'm on a call.
