I just played the game through and the "Bye, bye!" after entering your initials is missing too.

It appears there is some work being done on the votrax in these U releases.
If you run the command line, you can see certain phrases being printed:

clock = A0
Votrax played '[0] HEH3LOOW     AH1EH3I3YMTERI2NDAHN'
.
.
clock = FF
Votrax played '[0]BAH1I3Y1'
clock = CD
Votrax played '[0]BAH1EH1Y'

More than likely, it's a temporary regression as work is being done..

Found a fix for this -
in src/audio/gottlieb.c
in static void play_sample,
each string should be preceded by [0], as shown in the Votrax printf's that Tafoid posted.
