This is again not TeX-specific. Similar issues exist in Texinfo and in other markup languages. The annoyance is usually minor: it's enough to tell the speller to "accept" a word just once, since the number of markup codes is usually very small. But it would be nicer, of course, if Emacs could automatically skip markup in each major mode. We should keep in mind that spell-checking technical text will inevitably produce quite a few false positives, due to the jargon, acronyms, file names, and other similar stuff. I don't see how this could be solved in principle without risking false negatives, which is worse.
