For me it appears to work fine. Recently however a change has been made 
that it always read full character name when there is a single character 
to speak. For example when you navigate to a line and the line only has 
single space or single periot it will be read. Punctuation level is for 
handling punctuation inside a word. For example put down a.b.c.d. 
(letters seperated by periods) and compare how orca reports it with 
punctuation level set to most and all.
An issue with this is that when the punctuation level is configured to 
all orca presents dot at the end of each utterance that is sent to 
speech-dispatcher for synthesis. This might be tweaked I think.

You do actually have both orca versions installed on your system now. 
orca 3.28 installed via distro package manager (its binary is 
/usr/bin/orca ) and orca 3.29 pre aka orca master you have installed 
manually from sources (its binary is located at /usr/local/bin/orca ).
When you orca from a terminal, from a menu shortcut or from a run box 
/usr/local/bin/orca takes precedence so it's considered to be the 
default. However if you quit orca and run /usr/bin/orca from the 
terminal or from alt+F2 run box, you can run orca 3.28 this way.
