Yes, it does make sense, but the issue is not just that the number is
different.  If speakup grabs the first port first, the kernel serial driver
does not see the port at all; that is why the second port gets numbered
ttyS0.  So, the kernel only sees one port until you reboot and do not
start speakup, even if you disable the synth in speakup.
