According to Elisp manual the value of the `face' text property may
indeed be a list which can contain (among other objects) face names as
symbols or strings.  So this is a bug in speechd-el.  It should test for
both a simple value and a list and additionally it should recognize not
only symbols as face names but also strings.

Well, providing a patch would probably be the fastest way to get it
fixed. ;-)
