I don't think so. The issues seems to be a disparity between the
language codes for the personal dictionary (you can only have a personal
dictionary for one language) and the main dictionary. The header of
`/tmp/words.txt' is
personal_ws-1.1 en 1
where the `en' refers to the language/dictionary and `1' refers to the
number of words in your personal dictionary. If I initiate a personal
dictionary with, say, Norwegian, the header looks like
personal_ws-1.1 nn 1
and I get the opposite problem (that it works for Norwegian but not
English).
I suspect the error comes from `ispell' feeding these two disparate
language codes to `aspell': it tries to combine two dictionaries for two
different languages and `aspell' complains. But I'm not certain this is
the case, as I don't understand well the code in `ispell.el'.
A possible fix would be to have an `ispell-personal-dictionaries-alist'
in which one could specify different personal dictionaries for different
language codes/dictionaries, which would be a feature improvement.
Another fix would be for `ispell' to check for disparity in language
code of the current dictionary and the personal dictionary, and if there
is one, to not feed the personal dictionary into `ispell-program-name'.
Are you able to reproduce the issue?
