strange reaction with emacspeak18 and ffap

["T. V. Raman" <raman@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

probably being triggered by the new voice lock engine 
in the context of overlays.

Please enumerate the exact steps needed to reproduce the problem,
including the specific customization for ffap.
I use ffap but I probably have highlighting turned off.
