OK, made again some experiments.  With the files and settings of
the original message, I found out that now, evaluating `M-x
TeX-ispell-document RET' in the buffer of `servant.tex' does,
what it should do.  However, in the buffer of `master.tex', only
the spelling of the currently open buffer is checked.

I have found another odd thing: take again the scenario of the
original post, open both files, perform some changes in the
buffer and try to save the document by calling `C-c C-d'.

The info doc for multifile documents makes me think, that
`TeX-save-document' will only work with `TeX-auto-save' set to
non-nil. Iterating again after having evaluated

  (setq TeX-auto-save t)
  (setq TeX-parse-self t)
  (setq-default TeX-master nil)

generated the same effect.
