First of all, I'd like to say that cyrillic encoding still doesn't work. Though instead of accented latin vowels (like it was with a new dict.file before the upgrade) I now can see no text at all (empty fields for dictionary items) - I believe they use cp1251 (win-1251) which is (along with utf-8) the most widely used encoding for Russian. I would be able to tell more precisely tomorrow.

Editing En(UK) dictionary worked great for me - adding a new word and saving changes made this word instantly available for autocompletion.

Also, I noticed that all the dictionary items in En(US) doesn't appear in autocompletion and thus is useless for me now.

Well, that's it for now
The dictionaries available for autocompletion are those selected in the "Text input" part of the Settings app. You only have a maximum of 2 available at one time, so you're presumably set to use Ru and En(Uk). You must have had En(Us) selected at one time to end up with words in the dictionary though.

I'm sorry to hear that the cyrillic still isn't working. I'll have to dig further into that one - getting it to display properly isn't a problem, but the issue is figuring out when to do so. The encoding will (presumably) depend on the language selected for the interface, rather than the dictionary language itself (I can quite happily add english words to the russian auto-complete dictionary), so I need to see how I can convert that to a character set to use for decoding.
