That's not what I see here.  When en_US is used, neither of these is
flagged as a mis-spelling.  When I switch to en_GB, only "etc" and the
"i" in "i.e." are flagged, the rest (including all of "e.g.") are not.

I guess the reason is the different versions of Hunspell dictionaries
we have installed.

Once again, I don't think this is an Emacs problem.  Don't you see the
same when you invoke Hunspell as a stand-alone program?
