Yes, it does seem to be the case that more folks take the time to report
Dictionary issues here on this list than in the bug report database.
While I was able to find eight reports you've submitted to the bug
database, I was unable to find any about erroneous Dictionary entries.
Were those submitted under an account with a different email address?
I've filed the one you reported here for you:
<http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=13813>
There may be value in alerting others here on this user-to-user list of
issues we find with LiveCode, but submitting them to the bug database
allows the maintainers to become aware of them too, making it possible
for them to be addressed.
FWIW, here's the Dictionary change log for just the most recent version,
7.0, which you can find in the Release Notes included with each version
