That sounds like the Speakup SMP bug to me.  There's a concurrency bug
somewhere in Speakup that causes it to drop text on multicore and
multiprocessor systems.  It doesn't seem to affect everyone equally,
either, and no one has found the cause.
We don't even know if it's in Speakup proper or the softsynth driver
itself.  I think you may be able to make it go away by booting with the
nosmp option.
What's interesting is that you've just noticed this all of a sudden,
after a kernel upgrade.  Is there a new bug different from the one I
described?  I should probably upgrade my kernel to find out.
