Thanks a lot for the tip.

I don't know what was wrong with MSYS2 version of hunspell, but this one works with the following minimal configuration:

(setq ispell-program-name (executable-find "hunspell"))
(setq ispell-local-dictionary "en_US")
(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist '(("en_US"
                                       "[[:alpha:]]"
                                       "[^[:alpha:]]"
                                       "[']"
                                       nil
                                       nil
                                       nil
                                       utf-8)))

Nevertheless, I can still see

ispell-phaf: No matching entry for nil

So it still tries to call `ispell-parse-hunspell-affix-file' with `nil' for the first time, and only then calls it with "en_US" in my case.

Secondly, I think that relying on "hunspell -D" so stubbornly that `ispell-parse-hunspell-affix-file' blocks all further usage of ispell.el with hunspell if `ispell-hunspell-dict-paths-alist' is just dumb. Here are a few reasons:
  1. Not all distributions of hunspell even supply "share/hunspell/*" stuff with them;
  2. Some users don't use dictionaries from "share/hunspell/*" because they might get either more updated dictionaries themselves and/or already have customized personal dictionaries.
For instance, #2 is exactly what I was planning to do:

  (let ((dictionaries-dir (expand-file-name "dictionaries"
                                            user-emacs-directory)))
    (make-directory dictionaries-dir t)
    (setq ispell-local-dictionary "en_US")
    (setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist '((nil
                                           "[[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[^[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[']"
                                           nil
                                           ("-d" "en_US"
                                            "-p" dictionaries-dir)
                                           nil
                                           utf-8)
                                          ("en_US"
                                           "[[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[^[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[']"
                                           nil
                                           ("-d" "en_US"
                                            "-p" dictionaries-dir)
                                           nil
                                           utf-8)
                                          ("german"
                                           "[[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[^[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[']"
                                           t
                                           ("-d" "de_DE_frami"
                                            "-p" dictionaries-dir)
                                           "~tex"
                                           utf-8)
                                          ("russian"
                                           "[[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[^[:alpha:]]"
                                           "[']"
                                           nil
                                           ("-d" "ru_RU"
                                            "-p" dictionaries-dir)
                                           nil
                                           utf-8)))))

and in this case I obviously don't care at all whether hunspell has anything in "share/hunspell/*" or not. So why would I be forcefully blocked to use it with some weird error from `ispell-parse-hunspell-affix-file'?

How about redesign?
