It's possible that format-mode-line was not exposed to the lisp
layer until emacs 22. I'll check in a fix sometime in the next
couple of days, but at present my home machine is dead and I have
more  serious problems to solve as a consequence.

If you want a fix, basically grab 
the function that processed the mode line format in
emacspeak-speak.el from a few svn revisions ago, and defalias
format-mode-line to that function
