The silent consonant in Issachar is an ancient tradition, not a mere colloquialism, and is mentioned by Ibn Ezra in his commentary to Exodus 1:3 eight hundred years ago, and stated also in the authoritative Tanakh manuscript of Rabbi Aharon ben Asher three hundred years still earlier. Like the unread צ in 1 Chronicles 15:24, its silent status is a fact of the masoretic reading just as are any other special vocalizations.
