Using old tokenization with the new dictionaries is the possible
problem. Firefox's tokenization hasn't been modified yet and replacing
the word parts with hyphenated forms in Hunspell dictionaries could
result bad error alerts instead of the quiet errors (using the word
parts in separated forms). Luckily, in most cases this is not problem,
because the dictionary developers didn't add the rare word parts to
the dictionary. For example the English word "scot-free" contains the
word part "scot". It's possible to add to the dictionary to avoid the
unnecessary error alerts, but this is an imperfect solution.

Yes, this is the back-compatibility for using the new tokenization
with old dictionaries.

It is not planned.

And I hope, for the French users, too. :)
