Messages above had gone because gnopernicus has a "default" voice, and that 
voice if _always_ created using _first_ activated driver and _first_ voice 
from that driver. 
When messages are displayed, then festival server is activated, it has voices, 
and gnopernicus succeds to _create_ a speaker, even if festival binary is 
_not_ installed (as on JDS builds).

Sometimes, festival server cannot be activated, in which case a message "erver 
activation failed" is displayed. In this case, the "default" voice will be 
created using freetts driver.

As it is _known_, festival doesn't have markers and freetts does.

As a conclusion, ALL NEW messages are NOT introduced by the new patch. This is 
a _normal(!?!)_ behaviour because gnome-speech _always_ reports festival 
server, but its initialization fails if festival binary is not installed 
(this failure seems to not be present in build 16 as bug 150048 is saying).
