I believe this has been fixed since this bug report was raised. Emacs is
now able to scan hunspell's dictionary files and make use of WORDCHARS.
I can't remember if it's fixed in Emacs 25, but it's definitely fixed in
26.

I'll close this bug report, but if you're still experiencing the problem
please reply and we can reopen it.
