after finding a new file in a not yet created directory, flyspell-

True, but when "finding" that file Emacs should have told you
Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents

Emacs
would tell you
basic-save-buffer-2: ...: no such directory
I already knew that the directory didn't exist and how to create it.
But why should I have to save the file to run flyspell, when I can even
use it on buffers with no files associated?
Also, I call flyspell-mode in a major-mode hook (or is there anything
wrong with that?), so the error occurs before I even could save it.
ispell seems to work around this for synchronous processes, but
apparently not for `start-process'.
I presume both ispell and flyspell use asynchronous processes on your
system. Moreover the same error should be issued for synchronous
ones.
In fact, both `start-process' and `call-process' have identic code
here:
True, those two have identical code. Yet `ispell-call-process' is a
wrapper used by ispell to "defend against bad `default-directory'".
There is no such wrapper for in `ispell-start-process'.
