At least in unstable, you don't have to do anything special to invoke
that mode if you run it on a '.tex' file. I don't think that's the
problem though, I think it's that it's finding the incorrect word but
highlighting the wrong word on the line. I would suggest creating a
test file with a known misspelling and seeing if aspell corrects the
right portion of the text. Either way, I'd check for bug reports on the
subject and potential work-arounds.
http://packages.debian.org/stable/text/aspell
is a good place to start.
