The test message works fine here.

The words "emrjj wehj gfdsjkl gf htig fm foo gon joo" are marked as 
mis-spelled, and the words "this is a test of the broadcast system 
after while, doesn't seem to mee TI" are spelled ok.

After fm is typed as-you-type spell checking is disabled as about 30% 
of unique words of spelled incorrectly.

This sounds like a bug that was in the 3.2 betas but was fixed for the 
final release. It might be worth compiling from source to eliminate 
the possibility that distributors released a broken version of KDE.

To debug this kind of thing compile from source and look at:
kdelibs/kdeui/ksyntaxhighlighter.* and kspell.*

You could be running a different version of the code or in some way 
your distribution is configured differently from people like myself 
who aren't experiencing problems.

I suggest compiling from source (with debug enabled). If you or 
someone can reproduce a problem in a source compile with debug 
symbols I might be able to help.

Don.
