Seems now I able to reproduce that behaviour with simple script.

Would you mind to run this script (see attachment)? It's the only
requirement is xdotool tool, you don't even have to switch to dvorak
layout; moreover, qwerty layout is required to run script without
intervention.

What this script do:
1. run emacs without any settings but loading 'quail-dvorak.el' file
   (attached as well) and switching _on_ flyspell mode;
2. open a text file to type;
3. use a sample text file (xmpl.txt, attached) to type in opened buffer;
4. after first round of type, switch _off_ flyspell mode and type the
   same sample file again.

To run script just open a terminal emulator and run
   ./test-emacs-flyspell-mode.sh xmpl.txt
in directory with script and sample file.

If it would give wrong behaviour for you then I send a bug report.
