Bug can be closed.

It's not really a bug per say, just that hunspell must have a dictionary
for your exact locale. Even if you have en_US dictionary, if your locale is
ENU, it won't work. So make sure you have a dictionary of that exact name,
that is, <locale>.aff and <locale>.dic in your hunspell dictionary folder,
and all will work again.

Thanks for helping me out with this issue.
