On the Power Off / Medical ID / Emergency Call screen, VoiceOver finds and speaks erroneous UI elements such as the word “Call” and the phrase “location.fill.radiowaves.left.and.right iPhone Findable After Power Off Forward” if invoked when you have an open app in the foreground.
You would expect VoiceOver to only speak and find UI elements which are present on screen and to speak them in an accurate and meaningful way.
What actually happens, is that VoiceOver will announce “call” as the screen first appears.
When exploring the screen, you should find that VoiceOver announces a UI element it calls “location.fill.radiowaves.left.and.right iPhone Findable After Power Off Forward” after the Power Off button.

I actually cannot reproduce this. Have you freported it at bugreport.apple.com?
Not surprising
Remind me, have you encountered any of the bugs ever mentioned by anybody on AppleVis? I seem to recall that you typically post this time of year to say that your installation of iOS is completely bug free. Can you point us towards a download link? 🤣
As for this one being reported to Apple, the feedback number is shown above.
Oh, and sadly I don't have your edition of iOS 15, as mine has this issue. Fortunately, it's probably the most minor of those I've seen so far.
Oh, and one more thing, are you triggering the power off screen whilst in an app? If not, try this, as the behavior doesn't seem to occur if you trigger power off from the home screen, lock screen, or Notification Center.
This still happens.
Using iPhone SE 2022, iOS 17.6.1. This bug still happens. Perhaps its a feature and the location fill radio waves button actually does something, but I'm not keen to test this out since there's I don't want to call emergency services or anything. Also when I do the power off screen the phone won't respond to any means of dismissing it including pressing the home and side buttons, so I had to reboot the phone and don't wanna do it again.
This button actually does serve a purpose
When clicking this button, you get an alert stating, that iPhone is findable after power off.
According to the alert:
"Find My helps you locate this iPhone when it is lost or stolen, even in power reserve mode or after power off.
The location is visible in Find My on your other devices, and to people in Family Sharing you share location with.
You can temporarily turn off Find My network and it will resume when this iPhone is powered on again ".
There is an OK button, and a Temporarily Turn Off Finding button.
