In the charset file you sent me the two relevant lines contain:

  11 200C - N 11 11 11 00 00 00 # ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER
  12 200D - N 12 12 12 00 00 00 # ZERO WIDTH JOINER

Where the type is '-' for other when it should be:

  11 200C M N 11 11 11 00 00 00 # ZERO WIDTH NON-JOINER
  12 200D M N 12 12 12 00 00 00 # ZERO WIDTH JOINER

with the type as 'M' for modifier

Most likely reason is that you are using an older version of unicode.txt.

You should check out the latest copy of aspell-lang from CVS, the module 
name is "aspell-lang" see http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs/?group=aspell
