This workaround fixes it for me: [Dutch hunspell doesn't work in 1.7.1?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/dutch-hunspell-doesnt-work-in-1-7-1/28440/4)

"Fixes" in the sense "ES can now create the index". Didn't yet check if it's actually doing what it should. 🙂

Still, it'd be nice if it "just worked".
