I think so, too.

A workaround for this problem is to put 

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}

in the preamble of your document. It will enable latex to decode
accented characters in your .tex file. This is much nicer for both the
spellchecker and the human typist/proofreader.

More information about the inputenc package is available from

/usr/share/doc/tetex-doc/latex/base/inputenc.dvi.gz
