ChromeVox doesn't read aria-describedby

Reported by senavarr...@hugeinc.com, Oct 20 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 61.0.3163.100
OS Version: OS X 10.11.6
URLs (if applicable) :
Other browsers tested: N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a page with the following content:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div>
      <span id="a1">
        A1 description
      </span>

      <a aria-describedby="a1" href="">A1 Details</a>
    </div>
    <span id="a2">
      A2 description
    </span>
    <a aria-describedby="a2" href="">A2 Details</a>
  </body>
</html>

2. Use chrome vox to navigate the two links.
3. Verify that only A2 is reading the description.

What is the expected result?
Both A1 and A2 should read the description provided in aria-describedby

What happens instead of that?
The description for A1 is not being read

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

Is this on ChromeVox Classic? If so, please use ChromeVox on Chrome OS which is the supported product moving forward.
