Speakup Parameters Still Broke

Yes. Same here.

I had chalked it up to the fact that I was a step or two behind
state-of-the-art since I was limiting myself to the packages from the
Lenny distribution, but yesterday I got the latest speakup sources
following Tony's steps, and the peculiar pitch and rate are as you
describe them. It requires a touch of the rate and pitch controls in
speakup to make them behave again. Using the talkwith script once again
destroys my preferred settings until I can touch the rate and pitch
keys.
