I'm not sure that I understand the problem. Is there a single line in file ar_test.aff? Are there 6 lines in the dictionary? Or do you use a fuller dictionary?
The problem is that I tried using hunspell-ar package and it didn't work. The ar_test.aff and ar_test.dic files are my attempt to replicate a minimal working example for the problem.
It seems something is wrong with your setup. Which hunspell do you use? Which version of hunspell-ar did you take? What is the output of
hunspell -d ./ar_test -l test.txt -D
I tested in recent LibreOffice and recent hunspell, they report the first two word that you listed as expected.
Hunspell v1.7.2
Here is the output:

Last line seems to be a bug in hunspell.
