It worked in 20060228 with UK English, as that is what I'm using.

I suspect the problem is getting the right Myspell configuration in
place, in Debian this is just "apt-get myspell-en-gb".

s/bugs/bug reports/

There are undoubtedly;

  More bugs than listed.
  Reports for different effects of the same bug in the list.

When looking at Sarge RC bugs before Sarge was released, I discovered
huge numbers were misclassified, or just the result of an individual
with a messed up configuration.

Sounds like it is just your config to me, but till they fix some more
Xorg bugs I'm being ultra cautious with the upgrades, I'll try
Thunderbird and see if I can reproduce.
