Same problem
I am also able to reproduce this on a fresh install. The definition of
(define-minor-mode flyspell-mode ...) emits this message in the
minibuffer when (flyspell-mode-on) returns a nil result; this is inside
a (condition-case ...) so no backtrace or other diagnostics are available.
Running M-: (flyspell-mode-on) directly produces the following backtrace:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "ispell exited with code 255")
signal(error ("ispell exited with code 255"))
error("%s exited with %s %s" "ispell" "code" 255)

I am running Ubuntu 10.04 but the Emacs package is essentially the same
as in Debian.
On the command line, "/usr/bin/ispell -v" returns a valid string on my
system. But "ispell -vv" -- which is what `ispell.el' uses unless
`ispell-program-name' is "aspell" -- returns an empty string (just a
newline) and an invalid exit code; hence, ispell-check-version fails.
vnix$ /usr/bin/ispell -v
@(#) International Ispell Version 3.1.20 compatible tmispell-voikko 0.7.1
vnix$ echo $?
0
vnix$ ispell -vv
vnix$ echo $?
255
(Voikko is a spelling checker for the Finnish language. It seems it was
installed system-wide when I installed a Finnish locale, although my
system locale is en_DK.utf8 and I don't override it for my personal login.)
Reporter and me-toos: what does ispell -vv return on your systems, and
which version of ispell is that? (Hint: dpkg -S /usr/bin/ispell.)
vnix$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/ispell
diversion by tmispell-voikko from: /usr/bin/ispell
diversion by tmispell-voikko to: /usr/bin/ispell.real
tmispell-voikko: /usr/bin/ispell
My suggestion would be for tmispell-voikko to accept -vv but also for
ispell.el to be robust with the apparently several different ispell
variants which do not support -vv.

If this were my real .signature, it would suck less. Well, maybe not.
