I'm using VoiceOver on macOS Venture 13.4 with Safari 16.5 and I'm experiencing the same issue.  When I visit that accessibility test page,  the "more content available" announcement for the text field doesn't tell the whole story.  I expect the description to be read out loud as well, just like it would be with aria-labelledby.  It seems like aria-description isn't working as intended in Safari on macOS
