No need to debug, see

  [ 2043080 ] Missing version string in piped mode

  In piped mode (-a), hunspell currently does not print its version string,
  if the '-m' or '-s' parameters are given. Emacs' ispell.el seems to expect
  that output.

  hunspell versions 1.1.4 and 1.1.9 *did* print the version string, just like
  ispell and aspell do.

Quoting hunspell upstream, you should not expect ispell.el to fully work
with hunspell.

  Hunspell 1.2.7 prints the header for -a, but I don't believe, that
  ispell.el will handle the output of the stemming or the morphological
  analysis well.

However, in your case, things may work as long as you use the myspell dict.
Anyway, you need to wait for 1.2.7, currently in experimental, for that.

Cheers,
