Ah ! :-) so - this is something else.
We can certainly fix this; primarily by not packing those dictionaries
as extensions I suspect.

Sure sure - but ultimately, removing one confusing choice (tons of
dictionaries in the extensions manager), by adding another confusing
choice - an extra page & response that no-one understands in the
installer IMHO makes the matter only worse.
So - Norbert is right (of course); but so are you.
So - the good news is; that Steven was poking at the dictionary
indexing code - which is in a similar area, and was going to look at
packaging dictionaries just as bundled files, rather than as extensions
- which *should* solve the problem for you. That involves a little
digging in dictionaries/ (removing a -ton- of cut/paste
makefile.mk-age), and some more prodding inside scp2/ to distribute the
dictionaries in a different way.
Hopefully that'll solve the problem for 3.4 - and/or if you're
concerned - can you contact Steven and help out ?
Anyhow - IMHO, there could have been a shorter thread here, if we had
pinpointed the root problem that people complain about, and not one
solution to it :-) but anyway:
Thanks for the report !
Michael.
