I cannot reproduce that.  I get the same choices as you show from
ispell outside Emacs, and in the same order.

Are you sure ispell-buffer doesn't use aspell or hunspell instead of
the real ispell?  What are your values of ispell-really-aspell and
ispell-really-hunspell?  In my case, I know that's really ispell that
ispell.el invokes, because I don't have the other two installed.

I don't understand the question: you just showed above that ispell
_does_ say something about 'transfered'.

Exactly.
