When I type text in Aquamacs (3.5), the mode line identifies modes “LaTeX/FPS Fly (Default) BCite Ref Abbrev Fill”, but typing things that shouldn’t appear in the default dictionary (“en”) almost never results in a flag (underlining). Frustratingly, this does very occasionally happen, but I have no idea of what’s going on.

I don't use LaTex, and I only write in English so don't know the details.
But a main reason I use Aquamacs is that it integrates with Apple's
spell checking infrastructure at the C level and that is turned on in Aquamacs
So for a first attempt I would remove all references to flyspell in your init.
The look at the Menu and under Edit there is a submenu Spelling. Choosing things there should set things up.
