The problem is afaics not vim-latex related, but maybe somehow hidden in
the tex syntax rules shipped with vim. This is a workaround that works
here on Fedora 10:

:syntax spell toplevel

References:
http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/syntax.html#:syn-spell
:help spell-syntax

Nevertheless it would be nice if you could forward this to the tex
syntax file maintainer, but I do not know how to get in contact with
him.
