It might be easier to know what's going on if you provide some snippets from solrconfig.xml and schema.xml. But my guess is that in your solrconfig.xml, under the spellcheck "searchComponent" either the "queryAnalyzerFieldType" or the "fieldType" (one level down) is set to a field that is removing numbers or otherwise modifying the tokens on analysis. The reason is that your query contained "ccc" but it says that "cccc1" is a misspelled word in your query. Typically you want a simple analysis chain that just tokenizes on whitespace and little else for spellchecking.
With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if this was a bug as we've had problems in the past with words containing numbers, dashes and the like. If you become convinced you've found a bug, would you be able to write a failing unit test and post it on JIRA? See http://wiki.apache.org/solr/HowToContribute for more information.
