That's it: you are actually using aspell inside Emacs.  So I'm closing
this bug.

> $ echo transfered  |/usr/bin/spell # http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/transfered #misspelling
> $ echo transferred |/usr/bin/spell
> $ echo transferrred|/usr/bin/spell
> transferrred
> 
> $ cat t
> transfered
> $ ispell t

Only the last one is of (casual) interest to this issue, and I cannot
reproduce it: for me, ispell highlights "transfered" as a misspelling
and shows exactly the same choices as inside Emacs.  Maybe you should
do a "type ispell", perhaps there are more surprises there.
