Does explicitely setting ispell-local-dictionary in your ~/.emacs file work?

I do not think so, dictionaries-common initialization files try to find a
match for LANG->ispell_local_dictionary if ispell-local-dictionary is not
explicitely set and the aspell dict informs about the equivalences. That is
included into the debian-aspell-equivs-alist built after info provided by
aspell dict maintainers on dict installation. In the system I am writing
from that reads (see /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el)
(setq debian-aspell-equivs-alist '(
("es" "castellano8")
("es_ES" "castellano8")
("gl" "galego-minimos")
("gl_ES" "galego-minimos")
("[EMAIL PROTECTED]" "galego-minimos")
))
so if LANG is "es_ES" "castellano8" should automatically be selected as
default dict for aspell, unless ispell-local-dictionary is explicitely set,
but that will not happen for emacs-snapshot, since it is standalone.
Now that emacs-cvs people is actively working on aspell support something of
this kind might soon be included for all dicts in ispell-dictionary-alist,
that is currently a really moving target. I still have to rewrite some parts
of the Debian code, once ready, that might be useful for them too.
