Thanks for reminding, This last is the actual problem, see http://debbugs.gnu.org/6143 I already committed the fix upstream http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-diffs/2010-06/msg00216.html but was waiting to update to more recent {ispell,flyspell}.el from FSF repo instead of cherry-picking that fix. And I did not yet do that because I wanted to work-around a new incompatibility with XEmacs. Just noticed that original reporter claims that this is still not fixed. I remember to having tested this, but will try again. No other complains appeared since that commit (24 Jun 2010). Do not know which way will go first, cherry-pick or update, depending on the XEmacs compatibility issue. I am currently having little connectivity, but hope to decide today.
