Yes, this is a problem with some versions of ispell.  There are a
couple of lines in ispell.el that should say:

(defvar ispell-filter-hook-args '("-cs" "[A-Z][a-z]" "[\012*]")
  "Argument LIST to pass to ispell-filter-hook")

I'm sorry, I do not have the original source for this line. It is
really close but not quite right.  Make this change and byte-compile
ispell.el and everything should work.

BTW:  The error is in the hook-args.
