I just tried it myself, and sure enough, it turns on the keyboard echo.
Quite aggravating, especially since I hate keyboard echo.

Subject: JAWS 6.2 Bug
My wife found an interesting bug in JAWS 6.2. She works as a Spanish
language interpreter and translator. This means she types Spanish text in
Microsoft Word 2000.
When typing text, she likes to turn off the keyboard echo. She did this
through the setting in Configuration Manager, and has done it for previous
versions of JAWS.
In JAWS 6.2, when typing Spanish text where the access is used, the keyboard
echo turns back on automatically, even though it was turned off in
Configuration Manager. For example, she typed the name J o s e acute. You
can do this in Word by pressing the Control apostrophe and then press the
letter e to get the e acute in Spanish. Where typing echo was set off, it
is now on. I tested it in Word 2003 running JAWS 6.2 and it does the same
thing.
I sent an email to Freedom Scientific about it late yesterday, so hope to
hear from them as to what to do. I wanted to post this to the list in case
anyone else runs into it and is wondering what is going on. As far as I
know, this is the first instance of it happening.
