I suppose it says something I would never even expect it to work. My experience with voice recognition, in any language, is that is's horribly immature.
I've been using Dragon NaturallySpeaking for the past year or so, and it works well once you get over the initial curve of learning to say "cap" and "comma" in all the right places. I couldn't imagine using it for programming, but for dictating things like emails and natural language (like this comment), I've been pretty happy with it.
For what it's worth, I dictate most of my IMs, text messages, and some short emails through iOS' voice recognition, and it gets dictated punctuation (in English) correct 99% of the time. Android's probably does too, since that bug report thread focuses on languages other than English.
Interesting. You're the first I hear from that uses it. Only knew some impaired people that were using Dragon NaturallySpeaking or something like that.
Until this year, I wouldn't have expected to ever use it myself, but it's just so much faster and requires almost no visual attention. I couldn't imagine going back to pecking everything out on a touch screen now.

I just tested it. You're right. Dictating punctuation works in English, but not in Spanish. I dictated this message including punctuation.
