Not until you mentioned it :-)
I've fixed it now, for the next version.

There's a work-around if you want to edit the  dictsource/en_list file
and re-compile the dictionary data by doing:
   espeak --compile=en

In en_list, find the line which starts with:

   (do not) 

i.e. "do not" in brackets, and delete it.
