Probably because it doesn't declare 'ispell-buffer' to be
*interactive*, i.e., Emacs thinks that it's not intended to be called
directly from the keyboard.  You need a further argument to declare
that it's interactive:

autoload:
[...]
Fourth arg INTERACTIVE if non-nil says function can be called interactively.
