Any string sent to SSIP is processed through the same routine,
performing the conversion to UTF-8, in speechd-el.  So if the encoding
differs within the same connection, something is weird.  I'm sure there
are UTF-8 related bugs in Emacs 21.3, but I can't reproduce the
particular problem you describe.

Are you sure the wrong coding comes from speechd-el?  If so, what does
the call

  (encode-coding-string "KEY á\n" speechd--coding-system)

return?  And what's the value of speechd--coding-system?
