To find the ispell occurance of "sort" we'd have to build with
textutils installed.

That's what I did and where it crashed. I was looking at it because of a recent crash report on the users list. There it crashed on a consequence of the tail bug, and after correcting this, I saw the sort bug.

With sort it is more difficult, because "sort +n" starts counting fields at 0, whereas "sort -k n" starts counting at 1, so you would have to use the replacement "sort -k n+1" after doing some arithmetic to compute n+1. Another possibility is given in "info sort": Use

  env _POSIX2_VERSION=199209 sort

instead of sort. This reinstates the old behavior (I tested it and it works).
