[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Okay, the double backslash works with emacs -Q on my system as well.

Back in my customizations, it looks like I had not rechecked by setting the
ispell-personal-dictionary variable ... was still using the ispell-cmd-args
approach unfortunately.  So it looks like the latter is the issue, because
everything works now per your suggested settings.

I had originally tried using ispell-personal-dictionary before turning to
ispell-cmd-args and now believe that I may have failed to touch the
.hunspell_en_US file first (a known quirk) while I was testing the double
backslashes among other ways of specifying the file path.

So it's safe to close the bug now.
