OK, well, if 'spell' is set then spell-checking is enabled. There might
be a problem with the spell dictionary, or with spell being enabled or
not by the syntax script. Try

:verbose set spelllang? syntax?

(with three l's in 'spelllang') in the case where spell checking seems
to be enabled, and seems to be disabled.
