I've done a bit more "research" and have noted the following:

1- if I delete .aspell.en.pws and re-run aspell-import
the error message does not appear. 
Then running "ispell" on the emacs buffer, it appears to work with no issues.
The file in question which I am editing is an html file.

2- 
A) If I then (using emacs) delete the first line and save the file as s.1
B) then sort s.1>s.2
C) read s.2 and tack on the original first line from the original file and save 
it again as .aspell.en.pws
D) the error occurs:
Error: /Users/magill/.aspell.en.pws: The word "personal_ws-1.1 en 635 " is 
invalid. The character '\
_' (U+5F) may not appear in the middle of a word.
E) the file size is the same in either situation.

3- During a run of aspell-import, I get a number of errors about /M and similar 
ispell suffixes.

The Aspell file attached is the "non-working" version.

Note: the attachments are re-named to allow OSX Mail to include them -- it doesn't see 
the ".file" -- even though they are visible (enabled) to the Finder.  
121118.html is the file I am attempting to spell-check.

The two "obvious" questions are:
1- Why doesn't it like the header after the file has been sorted?
2- Why doesn't aspell-import like valid ispell nominclature?
