That's a known issue indeed.

We can't really fix this unfortunately. A workaround is to fix the issue
by hand in /lib/systemd/system/espeakup.service, by adding /bin/ to

ExecStart=sh -c 'modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V ${VOICE}'

so it looks like

ExecStart=/bin/sh -c 'modprobe speakup_soft && /usr/bin/espeakup -V "${VOICE}"'
