My original problem was kind of complex:
Install magit and guess-language.el,
change ispell default dictionary to a non-English language,
hook flyspell-mode and guess-language to text-mode,
each M-x magit-commit-create would leave a spurious aspell process.

So as I was coming up with a shorter reproducer, I found out that the
problem was an idle timer from guess-language, accidentally hijacking
itself into ispell's sit-for. I no longer believe this problem to be
ispell's and will send a report to guess-language.
