But if you kill the buffer, then create a new one, insert the same
text into it, activate flyspell-mode, and try ESC TAB at the same
place, you won't see the problem, right?

I think I see the reason for this: it's a stale cache from a previous
invocation of flyspell-auto-correct-word that is not flushed when you
type more text or move point.  So flyspell-auto-correct-word tries to
correct the same word het time you invoke it, no matter how far away
are you.

Please try the patch below (you will need to byte-compile flyspell.el
after applying the patch).  If it gives good results, please run with
it for a while and see if there are any problems left.  If this change
has no adverse effects, I will push it.
