IIRC this kind of error messages comes from ranges like \310-\313 or the
equivalent with the actual chars, which are no longer allowed in emacs22 for
anything but 7bit chars.

French entries in emacs22 ispell.el do not have this kind of ranges,

 ("francais7"
  "[A-Za-z]" "[^A-Za-z]" "[`'^-]" t nil nil iso-8859-1)
 ("francais"                          ; Francais.aff
  
"[A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374]"
  
"[^A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374]"
  "[-'address@hidden" t nil "~list" iso-8859-1)
 ("francais-tex"                      ; Francais.aff
  
"[A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374\\]"
  
"[^A-Za-z\300\302\306\307\310\311\312\313\316\317\324\331\333\334\340\342\347\350\351\352\353\356\357\364\371\373\374\\]"
  "[-'^`\"address@hidden" t nil "~tex" iso-8859-1)))

May be you have a personal entry using them, or your distro is overriding
default ispell.el values with some old values using these ranges.

Can you please check this?

Checking the output of evaluating

(message "%s" (assoc "francais" ispell-dictionary-alist))

should also help. Note that octal codes will be converted here, so ranges will
be shown with the actual chars.
