Sorry, that's my bad: I didn't "note the curly quote".

But with that character, ispell-buffer also wants me to correct
"didn".  So both commands are consistent on my machine.  But then I
don't work on en_GB.UTF-8 locale, and I'm guessing your ispell is
neither real ispell nor hunspell, which are two spellers I tested this
with.

P.S. Please keep the bug address on the CC list, so that this
discussion gets archived by the bug tracker.
