Does it help to say

  M-x ispell-change-dictionary RET en_GB RET

?

The default dictionary is needed because when we invoke the speller
for the first time, we must tell it which dictionary to use.  If you
want it to use en_GB although your locale is en_US, one way that I
think should work is to copy the en_GB-ize.* files to default.* in the
directory where you keep the Hunspell dictionaries.
