You could try something like this instead (not tested):

syn match Ellipsis /\%(…|\.\.\.\)\s\+\zs[a-z].\{-}\>/ contains=@NoSpell transparent

However, the effect is to ignore any word starting with a lower case
letter that follows an ellipsis, rather than just stop checking for a
capital letter after an ellipsis.
