Unfortunately, yes. For general purpose epub readers it doesn't seem to matter whether you use <i>, <em> or <span class="italic">. All 3 may be visually OK (italic) but as far as TTS is concerned they may as well be plain text for all the difference it makes.
BTW I'm not advocating against using semantically correct tags. In fact if I buy a book which uses <p> or <div> for headings I always change them to suitable <h?> tags as part of my clean-up workflow. But it's more a compulsion than an expectation of reaping any actual short-term benefits.
