    After receiving a bug report about the spell command not being found, I
    wanted a nice way of redirecting new users towards ispell, which is more
    likely installed on their systems.

Your patch is a good idea.  But I wonder if we should go even further,
such as mark these spell.el commands obsolete, or make them aliases
for ispell.el commands.
