The fix is to the file: espeak-data/mbrola_ph/fr1_phtrans
which is compiled from the source data file phsource/mbrola/fr1 (in the espeakedit download).
This "fr1_phtrans" file can be used to replace the same file in eSpeak version 1.46.02 (in Ubuntu 12.04) and probably in earlier versions of eSpeak also.
I've fixed this now in the development version of eSpeak (version 1.46.16 or later) at espeak. sourceforge. net/test/ latest. html
