Let's make sure you indeed have the latest versions.

First, launch Emacs, then type "M-x emacs-version RET", and tell what
did it print in the echo area.

Next, go to your lisp sibdirectory, type "dir/-w ispell.*", and tell
what did that print.

Yes.  I suspect that your ispell.el is an older version.

Probably.  isp3120b.zip includes an older version of ispell.el, so you
might have overwritten the new files.  Please unzip the new ispell.elc
from em2005b.zip into gnu/emacs/lisp directory and see if that helps.
If you downloaded em2005bli.zip, unzip ispell.el as well (the latter
is not important, since Emacs will use ispell.elc if it's present).
