Using CTRL-O z= in Insert mode works fine.

Using CTRL-O z= in Insert mode works fine. What was the problem? Short answer -- it works. [Long answer: Yesterday, I could not get it to work; today, the very first time I tried it, the word was replaced by funny (non-aplha, non-numeric) characters. Since then, it has always worked whenever I tried it.] --Suresh

I'm not able to make any of the usual tricks (shm, raising the command height) work, and this statement blocks user input. Why not use spellsuggest()? That seems a lot of overhead to process the list and make a menu/popup, especially given z= usefulness. It works when you set the maximum number of entries in 'spellsuggest' to less than the value of 'cmdheight'. I keep cmdheight small so my editing area is large. z= usefully expands it except... :silent normal z= also works. That's probably what you should do if you want to catch the output with a redirection. I'm not trying to capture anything, but when called in a function the screen refresh happens after the function has already terminated. 1: function!
