I can confirm the bug. The latest stable Mac OS X build is affected:
Version: 4.1.6.2
Build ID: 40ff705089...

You can reproduce the problem by creating a new document and typing some garbage. The spell checker can find no problem and it always reports "Spell check complete."
The spell checker behaves exactly the same when you change the document language to "None" as when you change it to "English (Australian)".

Australian English is the same as British English (ignoring idioms). "Color" is the U.S. spelling. In Australia and the U.K. the spelling is "colour".
So one workaround is to switch the default language to English (U.K.) in settings. But changing the default may not help for documents already saved with language "English (Australian)".
