Unable to duplicate here.  Can you send me ibmtts.log file please?  Don't 
worry about bandwidth on this end.

A normal run here includes the following in the log:

voice male1, dialect GeneralAmericanEnglish = 00010000.

Hynek is correct.  The ibmtts output module does not strip the <speak> tags 
and if your version of ibmtts doesn't handle SSML, you'd get the behavior 
you're seeing.  The version of ibmtts you are using is near the top of the 
ibmtts.log file.  Here's mine:

Sat Aug 12 09:35:02 2006 [984038]: Ibmtts: IBM TTS Output Module version 0.1, 
IBM TTS Engine version 6.7.4.1
