Hi Tim, nice to hear you managed to disentangle it, good job!

Does Speech Dispatcher log (with verbosity level 4) reveal something?
Are there any TTS restarts reported there?  Or either inappropriate or
missing rate changes?

Backspace works fine for me with flycheck and eldoc modes enabled.  Do
you have a backtrace of the error?

Excellent. :-)
