One might even expect a program to use a common Unix preinstalled dictionary.

"words" is nothing but a list of words. It does not contain definitions for those words, which is what one expects from a dictionary.

I wonder where one files a bug report that it's misusing "dict" under "words"

Hmm, you are correct.
