Hey man, you absolutly wrong with "obsolete spelling". That's the
official rules of Russian language in Russia:

right in his bugreport:

Most typographical texts are written with jo substituted with je, and
providing dictionary which consider such texts as wrong is really
annoing.
Also you should note, that ispell-rus was built in such way for a long
time, and only 0.99g5-5 broke this because of not clean build
environment.
In the future ispell-rus will provide both dictionaries (I'm working
on it allready), but for lenny, I think, that #511290 should be fixed.
