With ispell-extra-args being empty, the eventual form to start Hunspell is

* make-process(:name "ispell" :buffer nil :command ("hunspell" "-a" ""
  "-d" "ru_RU" "-i" "UTF-8"))

However right after evaluation of this form pgrep shows this:

$ pgrep -a hunspell
6310 /usr/bin/hunspell  -d ru_RU -i UTF-8
$ tr \\0 \\n < /proc/6310/cmdline | cat -n
     1	/usr/bin/hunspell
     2	
     3	-d
     4	ru_RU
     5	-i
     6	UTF-8
$
