To determine if it is an Orca or a speech-dispatcher issue you could use 
the spd-say command like this :
spd-say -o espeak-ng YOURTEXT

If the behavior it's the same it is probably an espeak-ng issue. From my 
little experience on the subject most of the time it's a matter of TTS 
itself.

You could use "grep" to find the incorrect conversion in the espeak-ng code.

Let me know if I could help you.

Best regards.
