Just to close this thread, this same problem was later reported by original
submitter to the aspell-user mailing list,

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-user/2006-10/msg00011.html

I am attaching the relevant part from Kevin Atkinson reply at

  http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/aspell-user/2006-10/msg00012.html

------
  you might want to try recompiling Aspell with
     "--enable-compile-in-filters"
  as suggested in
     http://aspell.sourceforge.net/man-html/Loadable-Filter-Notes.html
------

which was reported to work in that aspell-user thread. So this problem has
nothing to do with emacs files.
