Well, in so far as they have any especially common behaviour for <q>, 
reading "quote" at the beginning is it. Of course, whether they do 
anything special for <q> depends on one's verbosity configuration, but 
then everything with a screen reader does.

What skews everyone's view of <q> is that JAWS 7.1 (and probably 8 too, 
but I've never been able to find someone with a licenced copy to test 
that) doesn't recognize it as a quotation. But while JAWS is a very 
popular screen reader, it's not as dominant in the screen reader market 
as (say) Internet Explorer is in the browser world.
