Fixed!

Found that I had the custom variable 'echo-keystrokes' set to zero, by
inspecting very carefully the code that I bisected out yesterday.

And this variable was factored into whether or not to speak messages.

Sheesh! Does not explain why I had made an observation that the issue
was evident earlier running with (what I believed was minimal
configuration.)

My attempts using 'runq' were to no avail at all until I changed the -q
to -nw -Q (upper case).... at which time I was at least able to fire it
up in terminal mode.

Other attempts using run-q script resulted in the spinning color-wheel
and emacs seriously wedged.

getting it to run in terminal mode did reveal the echo messages being
spoken with an absolutely nimimal startup configuration.

But I never even figured out at that point how to get the default Mac
terminal app to send the right-side command and options keys as control
and meta but wasn't going to enjoy running it in a plain text term
anyhow.

Thus I went back to the bisected patch and inspected the involved
variables, then eureka :-)

So we're up running, yeah baby!

Big thanks for the troubleshooting tips.

Raman and RobertMeta, you guys rock so hard!

Thx
