This should be no reason of concern.

The Russian language has a specific number of words that contain the
letter "ё" (i.e. [1]). However, sometimes this is considered "old" way
of writing and in the name of simplification people use "е" instead of
"ё" [2]. This trend can be seen in books (recently republished old
texts, included) as well. The dictionaries provided by aspell seem to
use the "new" trend as well. As such, they do not contain, for
example, the "ёлка" word. Instead these contain "елка". When checking
the spelling in a document, aspell - hence LyX - will identify "ёлка"
as miss-spelled and propose "елка" instead (see attached LyX file).
The rest of the document seems to be checked as expected.

[2] http://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/елка

I imagine this should suit the bug report. Regards,
Liviu
