Digging further into this, it turns out that what was happening was as follows:
- another aspell instance is already installed in the standard location - new aspell instance is installed to alternate directory - run 'aspell dump config dict-dir' in alternate directory - executable in alternate directory picks up shared library in standard location due to LD_LIBRARY_PATH setting - dict-dir is reported as standard location (e.g. due to config info compiled into shared libarary) So this is not exactly a bug; and probably unusual enough not to warrant a lot of attention.
