I think it is assumed most ground control will be collected from a DEM that is relative to the mean sea level (geoid) and not elevation above ellipsoid, which is fairly uncommon to have. If you are using the new RPC orthorectification workflow in ENVI 5, you have the option to turn off the geoid correction in the Advanced tab if you do have a DEM and have collected GCPs that are referenced to the ellipsoid.
