From
<http://xapian.org/docs/sourcedoc/html/classXapian_1_1QueryParser.html>:

FLAG_SPELLING_CORRECTION

    The query returned is based on the uncorrected query string
    however - if you want a parsed query based on the corrected query
    string, you must call QueryParser::parse_query() again.

which explains why your mset is empty on the query with
'datapase'. Your other problem, where qp.get_corrected_query_string()
is returning '' instead of 'database' I can't reproduce. I've attached
a small python script which will run without assertion failures on my
install (admittedly with Xapian HEAD not 1.0.5). If you still get an
assertion failure, there's a problem with 1.0.5 or possibly your
setup; if not, it's a problem with your code in some way.
