As per the above, reassigning to emacspeak. There were some other warnings in the log file but they didn't appear to be fatal.

If you still have the file /tmp/fileApzIJU on your system, could you please attach it to this bug report (visit the bug page at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/+bug/491101 and click on "Add an attachment" near the bottom of the page). I don't think it will reveal anything new, but still.

For the record, the upgrade to emacspeak 29.0-5 (bug #531192) should fix this. (The upstream bug was closed in 29.0-3; see the Changelog at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacspeak/+changelog)
