The only question mark would be if you were applying for a foreign country visa/visa waiver which asks specifically for place of birth as stated on your passport - but in that case I would just use the misspelling. No one is going to query it. There are many place names which have multiple different spellings anyway, especially those translated into English.
my concern would be someone noticing that the place is spelt incorrectly this side of the border eg bag check in , boarding gate??
