You said that you are using 30 sentences, but we have successfully constructed an hts voice using only 5 sentences which were designed to include all phonemes (of course its quality was not good).
So in my opinion it is not a problem of HTK, it is problem of design of your sentences.

Currently, there is no way to avoid this problem except including all phonemes in the training data on the current implementation or substituting unseen phonemes using the other ones.
If you have any idea to solve this problem, please report to this mailing list.
