This is a feature, not a bug.
By default, ispell uses the nroff deformatter. \sp is a control
sequence in nroff. (More accurately, \s<n> where n is a number, is a
control sequence, but ispell's deformatter is a bit dumb about it.)
You'll find similar problems with \f and \(.
If you want plain-text deformatting, ispell 3.3 offers the "-o" option
to do that.

goodly number of scientists are not only narrow-minded and dull, but also just
stupid. -- James Watson
