I encounter exactly the same bug in evolution at dapper (evolution 2.6.0-0ubuntu5, gnome-spell 1.0.7-1ubuntu1, ispell 3.1.20.0-4). The spelling errors of greek text are marked by the red curly line, but the menu popped up when right-clicking on the error does not contain any spelling options or suggestions. Also running spellchecking (F7) reports that no errors are found.

When I also add english text with spelling errors at the same message then right-click-on-the-misspelled-word menu has the spelling options and running spellchecking wthi F7 locates the english misspelled words but ignores the greek misspelled words.

Also when I type a "word" that contains both greek and english characters then right-clicking this "word" gives spellchecking options, but spellchecker run by pressing F7 fails to locate it.

Finally, related to this spellchecker bug may be the fact that also find (CTRL+F) fails to locate any greek word in the message, while correctly locating any english (latin characters) word.
