Sometimes you know what happened and can continue.

Agreed, and the interface should avoid sending words with non supported
chars in case a word with them is present (as with a foreign word) or at
least discriminate properly. What I mean is that is difficult to do that
when a line is sent as a whole to the ispell process. When things are
done word-by-word that is possible, but this is of small efficiency in
large buffers.

You probably use it implicitely unless you use an explicitely user defined
non-utf8 dict entry.

BTW, I have just reproduced it with emacs21, aspell and the old ispell.el.
I admit that this is currently (emacs 22) a problem only with ispell or with
buggy user-defined entries.
Anyway, this subthread started when Peter considered using the word-by-word
mechanism and I pointed out that it might not be efficient in large buffers.
I do not think this is now adding much to that.
