Hmm. I'm able to reproduce this fairly easily. Below, when I get the
debconf dialog, "american" is selected. (The warning is new to me,
however; I don't believe I've seen that before.)
This is starting from a minimal Jessie install:
# dpkg -l | grep apt-utils
ii apt-utils 1.0.9.6 i386
package management related utility programs
# echo
"dictionaries-common@dictionaries-common/default-wordlist@select@english
(Webster's Second International English wordlist)" | tr @ '\t' |
debconf-set-selections
# apt-get install miscfiles

That's indeed what I'm doing; a master script runs debconf-set-
selections first and then "apt-get install" as needed.
Incidentally... is it supported to set a debconf value of just e.g.
"english" or "american"---that is, minus the descriptive text in
parentheses? I can't help but feel that only the first word should
matter, but the debconf choice values including the parentheticals does
imply otherwise.
