This user-visible change would affect much more than ispell. Is it the right thing in general? Or, if this is a problem only for ispell, we can make series of "safe" coding-systems for ispell. Making a full range of alternate coding systems would be a nuisance and inconvenient for ispell.el to use. Or, we can add a global flag, say `inhibit-unsafe-iso-escape, to tell encoding routine not to produces those escape sequences. Then, ispell can let-bind that variable to t on encoding. I think the last one is the best solution. I agree, that would be much easier to implement and to use.
