This is normal Emacs behavior whenever you have 2 or more file-buffers 
open with the same name but located in different directories. You can 
even get filename.tex<3> if you visit a new file with the same name in 
yet another directory. I suppose that ispell or aspell made a copy of 
the file somewhere else.
