One thing I've noticed is that if there is a word I only encounter in its written form, I only sight read it and don't pronounce it internally (I remember doing it with "Hermione" the first I read the Harry Potter series). It's almost like there's just a brief silence in my inner monologue. I can see how that might lead to odd pronunciations the first time I actually think about it.
