Guess I won't try it after all.
Here is what I am doing in my production version:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//     WIDE STRING SUPPORT
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
BSTR TJMCSUtil::StrToBSTR(String InStr)
{
BSTR    OutStr;
WideString*   pWStr;
WideChar*     pWChars;

pWStr = NULL;
pWChars = NULL;

pWStr = new WideString(InStr);
pWChars = *pWStr;
OutStr = ::SysAllocString(pWChars);
delete pWStr;
return(OutStr);
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------
void TJMCSpeech::Speak(String Words)
{
if(SUCCEEDED(hr))
   pVoice->Speak(TJMCSUtil::StrToBSTR(Words),SPF_DEFAULT,NULL);
}
//---------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is what led to the floating pont exception under Vista in the first 
place.
The L format with the fixed string led to the same problem.
