emacspeak-advice.el contains the following code:

(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
          (function (lambda ()
                      (modify-syntax-entry 10 " "))))

In TeX-related modes a newline is considered the end of a comment.
The code above sets its syntax to whitespace, though.  Like this no
comment end can be found.
