In your mail you ask if it is severe enough. I would think that it is a relevant problem. Unfortunately, it is probably mostly a problem for languages that are not usually well represented in the developer communities. Many African languages have not yet standardised their keyboard layouts, and for some there are several competing designs. What this means is that documents could be created with different "encodings" of the same text, which will make searching not work correctly (unless proper normalisation is done), as Németh indicated.
If you want to further discuss this general problem outside the rather narrow scope of spell checking (and I too think it is indeed a problem, but unfortunately do not have time to help address it), I would suggest to move to a more general mailing list (like [email protected]) to get the necessary attention.
