The reporter and I seem to have swapped positions on this!

I believe that the ispell.el code (which I wrote) is buggy: it should not
be incorporating warnings into its output.

Also, the patch I offered is a simplification of the original code. So, I
don't think we are losing here.

Eli, I quite agree with your sentiment, and I would certainly not advocate
installing a workaround in Emacs unless there were compelling reasons.
However, I do not see this as a workaround, and as it is also a
simplification, I don't see a problem.
