This is a German spelling reform matter.  The system is making sure that text 
typed before the spelling reform matches text typed after the spelling reform.  
Technically speaking, whichever language you're writing, one of the above is 
spelled incorrectly.  But if the system is allowed to match misspellings 
however it wants, it does no harm to match 'flusse' with 'fluße'.

There are similar problems with other languages which have undergone spelling 
reform, or which have two concurrent, equally acceptable, ways of spelling 
(e.g. Hebrew).

I hope someone can answer your question.  I don't know enough.
