espeak --compile=zh-yue
is OK here.  After this command, both

espeak -vzhy 123
and
espeak -vzh-yue 123

speak "123" OK.

espeak -compile=zhy
gives an error, because there is no voice file espeak-data/voices/zhy

Compare the contents of your voice files "voices/zhy" (if you have one)
and "voices/zh-yue".  The difference is probably the cause of the
problem.
