Hi, I tried also to understand this problem without success (seems relative to
the way hunspell is handling simple quote).
I checked a workaround by adding 'globals (without last quote at the end) in
your Params-Validate-1.08.diff patch and this make the test pass on
rawhide/ppc64le. 
I don't have a f19 available so I didn't test it on f19 and perhaps is what you
referenced in your comment by saying "I can easily modify my patch to let the
package build on F20/rawhide again". 
I just wanted to signal it in case this workaround passes on f19 (worth a try).
