From my early correspondence with the author, I remember that one of his strategies to get his fantasies published was to put away any critic as a deranged Voynich nutcase. So from the beginning he cultivated a divide between himself and the "Voynich world". Maybe the avoidance of the V-word must be seen in that context.
Or maybe it's just a random quirk, like calling the pages "portfolios" even though early on I told him folios and portfolios are different things.
