Some appear to be test messages, while others are clearly not. Google has since disabled indexing of voice mails outside your own website."

Hmmm. I posted about this in September, but nobody said that's a "security issue". When you make a file public and you place a link to the file in a web page, it's very likely that Google will index the file.
