Do you have these words anywhere else in the package (e.g. in the Rd
files)? It turns out that R has a special environment variable that
makes it ignore custom dictionaries specifically for DESCRIPTION:

I cannot see it used anywhere under the trunk/CRAN subdirectory in the
developer.r-project.org Subversion repo, but it could be set somewhere
else on Win-Builder.
