It appears this problem is not one book related, but something that affects all.

The odd thing is that I created another dictionary 'slang' for words that are considered common slang, but this appears to hijack words destined for the default.

Has anyone else experienced this problem or is it something to do with my installation?

I have tried to repeat your problem, but I've failed. I don't spell check in Sigil, so my starting point was an empty 'default' user dictionary.

I added two dictionaries - names and jargon, the misspelt words ended up in the dictionaries I wanted them to be in, e.g. 'Cristobel' went into names, 'CoCo-Bonds' went into jargon, and 'nightshift' went into default.

I added words to the 'current' user dictionary by clicking the Add to dictionary button and by pressing F2. There's nothing amiss with the three user dictionary files - they have modify timestamps and the words I would expect them to have. Of course, I may have misconstrued your steps.

FWIW - I rediscovered a reason I don't use Sigil's spellchecker. To change the user dictionary you have to use the selector on the right. I prefer calibre's approach of allowing selection of the dictionary in the context menu flyout e.g Add/Remove . . . -><dictionary>.
