More info on this bug:

1) the problem is actually in _nextMisspelledWord()
2) pBlockText should have the correct text, but it doesn't
3) the data should be retrieved from m_pBlockBuf, which also doesn't have
the correct data (AFAICT)
4) The problem was introduced between 5 AM 10/9 and 5 AM 10/10. Most
likely, it was an effect of Vlad's patch, but I'm not sure yet.
