6. Click "Jetzt aktualisieren"
7. Proceed with No. 2.; instead of No. 5. do the following In the tree Microsoft Office > Office Tools > ... set *all* relevant Korrekturhilfen to "alles vom Arbeitsplatz starten" (by clicking on the symbol in front of the entry)
8. Click "Jetzt aktualisieren"
9. Recheck the behavior of the spellchecker.
Now everything works just fine.
So if anyone has this problem in future, they might find that this solution helps.
