Buggy speakup on Ubuntu 12.04?

 Hi all

 I try to configure speakup for Polish users on Ubuntu 12.04. Almost all 
 works properly, but I found two bugs:

 1) if I press "go to" key, any next key causes immediately kernel panic
 2) I have console configured for ISO-8859-2 and proper values in 
 i18n/chartab. I can navigate by words - but if the word starts with 
 accented letter, speakup says nearest previous word which does not start 
 with accented letter, or (if there is no such word) first word in line. 
 In effect, in sentence on screen:

 na łące ślicznie rośnie trawa

 navigating by words I hear 'na na na rośnie trawa'.

 Cursor is positioned properly, because I can navigate by characters 
 without any problems.

 Are there known bugs or Ubuntu related?

 I probably could correct second bug if it's ISO-2 related (I'm rather 
 familiar with program codes like this) - but I can't compile speakup on 
 my Ubuntu, I can only use modules shipped with system...

 Any idea?

 Also - there was "genmap' program... where is it? I'd like to slightly 
 modify speakup keymap, adding voice change keys (probably usable for 
 Polish user for switching between good quality but slow Ivona and 
 espeak) - is it possible without this program?
