I don't think this is really a bug, more of a feature IMO.

Probably because the [CAN SPEAK] tag doesn't specify that any particular body part is needed to speak.

I can confirm this as well, not a huge issue but it would be nice if tongue-less creatures couldn't talk.

It doesn't make sense that a creature without a tongue could talk. I'd say it's a design oversight.
