Well, I think the following wrapper script does at least part of the  
trick:

--- snip ---
#!/bin/sh
dir=`dirname $0`
data_dir="${dir}/../../Resources/lib/aspell-0.60/"
dict_dir="${data_dir}"
exec ${dir}/aspell.bin --data-dir="${data_dir}" --dict-dir="$ 
{dict_dir}" "$@"
--- snip ---

In order to use it, move /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ 
aspell to Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/aspell.bin and  
copy the snippet above into Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/ 
aspell and make it executable.

This one should be agnostic to renaming Emacs.app to something  
different, where compiling in the default paths might reveal the same  
problems...

Using this approach, there might be the possibility to get rid of  
ispell-extra-args as well.

HTH.

Bye,
     Clemens
