In that case, it seems my customizations are relevant:

 '(ispell-local-dictionary "british+accs")
 '(ispell-program-name "/usr/bin/aspell")

and

(setq ispell-local-dictionary-alist
      (append ispell-local-dictionary-alist
              '(("british+accs"         ; British version
                 "[[:alpha:]]"
                 "[^[:alpha:]]"
                 "[-'‘’]"
                 nil
                 ("-B" "-d" "en_GB")
                 nil
                 utf-8))))

Note that the only point of these customizations is to allow the use of accented letters and curly quotes in English words.

Cannot reproduce here, both ispell-buffer and flyspell reject the word with
en_US aspell dict.

Tried with emacs-snapshot and normal Debian emacs24.
