The following patch seemingly fixes the problem for me.  You'll
probably want to make this only conditionally when
flyspell-use-local-map is t (which means that its actual meaning is
totally inverse to what its name would suggest), but at least in
vanilla Emacs-21 this will always be the case.

It seems like there is some disorder with regard to sorting out what
to use in what case and how to flag this.
