I added TextToSpeech to my app, following the guidelines in the following post:

http://android-developers.blogspot.com/2009/09/introduction-to-text-to-speech-in.html

and now my onDestroy is no longer called when the back button is pressed. I filed a bug report regarding this: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=7674

Figured i should also ask here if someone else has seen this, and found a solution?

It seems that it is the intent that causes the problem, i.e. the following:

Intent checkIntent = new Intent();
checkIntent.setAction(TextToSpeech.Engine.ACTION_CHECK_TTS_DATA);
startActivityForResult(checkIntent, MY_DATA_CHECK_CODE);

If I skip this intent, and just go ahead and create a tts-instance, it works fine. Any clues to what is wrong with this intent?
