I fixed the case where the master file would not be found when
`TeX-ispell-document' was executed from a slave file.  Note that for
`TeX-ispell-document' to work from a master file, the slave files have
to be opened as well.  AUCTeX currently does not open these files
automatically.

Hm, that's working here.  For example I have the files

,----[ master-file.tex ]
| \documentclass{scrbook}
| \usepackage{graphicx}
| \begin{document}
| \end{document}
| 
| %%% Local Variables: 
| %%% mode: latex
| %%% TeX-master: t
| %%% End: 
`----

and

,----[ subdir/slave-file.tex ]
| 
| %%% Local Variables: 
| %%% mode: latex
| %%% TeX-master: "../master-file"
| %%% End: 
`----

Both were opened, edited, and saved with the settings

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

That means in the directory where the master file resides there is a
subdirectory auto with a master-file.el file.

Now, when I fire up XEmacs with `xemacs -vanilla', evaluate

(require 'tex-site)
(setq TeX-auto-save t)
(setq TeX-parse-self t)
(setq-default TeX-master nil)

and open subdir/slave-file.tex, I get completion of \dictum (which is
specific to scrbook.cls) and \includegraphics (which is specific to
graphicx.sty).

You can check if auto/master-file.el was loaded by looking at the
result of `C-h l'.  You should find something like
