Not without increasing the amount of work people need to do to enable TPU
emulation, so I think this is not an option.

This is a problem in Emacspeak: it should not itself load packages.

That's a bug. All such bugs should be reported via M-x report-emacs-bug.
By principle, loading an elisp package should not have any adverse affect
(it should basically have no effect other than the expected ones: define
additional functions and variables and maybe a few more).

I do not understand this one. Can you expand on it?
