I have the same version.

What is happening is that ispell_init.sl or flyspell.sl is causing an
error, which terminates the processing of your .jedrc, which causes JED
to start with the default colour scheme and keybindings.  If you go
into flyspell.sl and type M-x evalbuffer, what line is the cursor left
on?  What's in the *traceback* buffer?
