Ah, I'm using a custom latex.xml file I saved in my local directory so that I could get syntax highlighting to behave nicely with my dark color scheme. I suppose I might have to remove that to get spell check to work correctly, but whether spell check ignores '\...' strings *should* be independent of the syntax highlighting file. Why is the one dependent on the other?
