Thanks for the detailed suggestions -- it now works.
From what I can tell, the issue was the double backslashes not being accepted
in the file path for the hunspell personal dictionary.
If the above procedure works for you, please see what you are doing
differently in your "normal" Emacs sessions. In any case, using
ispell-cmd-args is not the recommended method; you should instead
customize the variable ispell-personal-dictionary, which is provided
for this purpose, and customize it before starting the spell-checker,
or restart the spell-checker with "M-x ispell-change-dictionary" after
customizing.
