Well, there's a Hunspell's feature triggered by ICONV replacement table 
but caveats exists.

For entry

ICONV á a

Hunspell - and LO as it uses Hunepll - will treat aáa the same as aaa 
and it will not flag it as misspelled.

Letter á should be added into TRY section of Hunspell dictionary file 
and words with á should make to wordlist so (possibly misspelled) aaa 
could be corrected to aáa.

You can't get perfect recognition as that mean that every word in your 
language should be added accented to your dictionary and that's 
unbearable in terms of maintaining dictionary.

What you could to is add that ICONV replacement table into you 
dictionary so accented words get ignored and aáa would not be flagged, 
but for aáb you'll still get suggestion aaa when what you really wont is 
aáa.

If words in your language in writing are not generally accented, than 
you need to find a workaround. Accented letter is still a different 
letter then regular (a ~ á) and Hunspell can't tell if it's a accent or 
a letter. In Croatian c ~ č ~ ć and non of last two are accented and are 
legit (potential) spelling mistakes.

Don't know if this helped.
