If aspell/hunspell is misconfigured, or has some bug, it might not
output the correct list of installed dictionaries, or not at all.

> aspell/hunspell and it outputs the dictionaries (see below).

Yes.

> If the backend is something other than aspell/hunspell, ispell will
> still output the entire list of built-in dictionary names.

Right.
