No, it produces the undesirable effect of treating "etc" as a correct
spelling.
Does this mean that your problem is solved, and we can close this bug?

Sorry, I must have been unclear. I still have the original problem:
without the workaround of adding incorrect spellings to my personal
wordlist, "i.e." and "e.g." are marked as wrong in en_GB. I just double
checked this with the following recipe:
1. Rename my ~/.hunspell_en_GB.
2. Start "emacs -Q"
3. M-x flyspell-mode RET
4. M-x customize-variable RET ispell-program-name RET; set to
"/usr/bin/hunspell" (doing this after step 3 because the variable is not
available for customization before loading ispell)
5. Type "etc. i.e. e.g."
All of the above is now red-underwiggled.
