True, but when "finding" that file Emacs should have told you
Use M-x make-directory RET RET to create the directory and its parents
which you apparently ignored ;-) and when trying to save the buffer Emacs
would tell you
basic-save-buffer-2: ...: no such directory

I presume both ispell and flyspell use asynchronous processes on your
system. Moreover the same error should be issued for synchronous ones.
In fact, both `start-process' and `call-process' have identic code here:
current_dir
= expand_and_dir_to_file (Funhandled_file_name_directory (current_dir),
Qnil);
if (NILP (Ffile_accessible_directory_p (current_dir)))
report_file_error ("Setting current directory",
Fcons (current_buffer->directory, Qnil));
What would you want Emacs to do instead?
