OK, this is a "false positive" then, since the test program normally
causes a short message to be spoken, "Hello from festival speech

Perhaps Adi's suggestion will work for you.  It seems you have found a
significant bug in the startup/test program, since of course it should
not "succeed" if speech cannot be generated.
