OK, I just did. I see it! Not with the ~/bin/vim version 7.3.189

/usr/bin/vim --noplugin -u ~/.vimrc.ap
:e file1

No highlighting of the misspelled word! (I moved your one-line
.vimrc to .vimrc.ap so that I could have my configuration back.)

:e file2

Misspelled word is now highlighted.

That the problem appears in 7.2.148 (and for you in 7.3.035) but not
in 7.3.189 suggests that it was a bug that has been fixed. Unless
the Ubuntu repository has a newer version, compiling your own is
probably the best solution.

Bug 7.3.042 "no spell highlighting when re-using an empty buffer" sounds like a likely culprit.

See the list of all known 7.3 bugfixes at either of
       ftp://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README
       http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.3/README

I'm glad you stuck with this.

FWIW: I, too, now see the problem (in vim v7.2.411, not in v7.3.237).

Best regards,
Tony.

I have built vim with the last patches and it works fine.
Thanks to all the people involved!
