Indeed. Browsing into hunspell bug tracker I noticed another report (with
proposed change) that may be related to this problem,

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3468022&group_id=143754&atid=756395
  No Encoding of Word for Suggestions in Piped Mode - ID: 3468022

A consequence of this bug seems that when communicated with in UTF-8, useful
suggestions are not generated from an 8-bit dictionary.

This in adition to report and changes proposed in

  http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3178449&group_id=143754&atid=756395
 Bad UTF-8 char count in pipe mode - ID: 3178449

Hope they will soon be fixed
