For the records, in Debian sid ispell.el and flyspell.el are exactly the
same for emacs23 and emacs24 packages (are provided externally by
dictionaries-common package), although I see that you reproduced this
also with "emacs -Q", which should use pristine values.

I could not reproduce this in my ISO8859-1 box. However, if I call Emacs
under the es_ES.UTF8 locale,

$ LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF8 emacs23
M-x server-start
$ LC_ALL=es_ES.UTF8 emacsclient.emacs23 -t

everytime I type an accented char in the GUI I see its UTF8 correspondence
in the client terminal, not the char. I am seeing this for Emacs23,
Emacs24 and emacs-snapshot, with or without "-Q", no need to fiddle with
`flyspell-mode'. This seems to not happen with GUI clients.
