Thanks for flagging this bug. My configuration was hiding it,

I now have a clean emacs config to test with and believe I fixed these issues, impacted 

more than just the two places you flagged. 

When you have a moment checkout the new 3.5.0 release.

My pitch is to remove this definition at all to make behavior inline with other speech servers, allowing the user to customize the behavior according to need.
