I had a closer look now. I'm on a Mac but this shouldn't make a difference.
Why not? There are serious differences between Linux and BSD-based OSX. That's why there are separate download directories for them for many applications.
This said I have to admit - I cannot reproduce your problem.
That removes empathy.
One thing I can imagine to create problems is having multiple instances of LyX open.
Heh! One instance is sufficient for me.
Possibly not in Mac, but in Debian Jessie and the same was the case in wheezy, aspell has a list of users words added in the /home/user directory.
Here, in ~/.lyx/ is a file called pwl_english.dict; in the LyX preferences under Language Settings -> Spellchecker the default in the top dropdown box is Aspell; the other choices are Enchant and Hunspell, neither of which are on my systems. In ~/.lyx/pwl_english.dict are the words that I've added, including those in the current document. So they are present, but each time I finish a chapter and spell check the document those words are highlighted and the tool pauses for me to tell it to ignore all. And, it doesn't do the latter, either; I need to tell it to ignore each instance of the same word which is in the dict file. Rich
