I agree.
Another solution I just made up would be to be able to mark an
individual paragraph as not-to-spell-check. This could add an icon in
the margin, so that the user is really aware that the thing shall not
be spellchecked. But it may be that even this is too complicated.
Would it be to difficult to show text that's not spell checked in a
different manner:
* Different foreground or background colour? Inverted?
* Greyed out?
* Underlined?
* Inside boxes?
* Overstricken?
It depends on how the ignoring is implemented. If it's implemented as a
character attribute (like language or font attributes) then it's dead
simple: just like foreign languages are marked blue, we could mark this
green. The more complicated the "ignoring" scheme gets, the more
complicated this will get, too...
This would only be active while the spellchecking dialog is active.

Or even with a separate preference flag. Especially given bug #3729,
having this display *only* while the spell checker is open may not be
that useful...
But yes, definitely it should be possible to switch this display on or
off at will.
