Are you sure?  It doesn't do that here...

/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ doesn't have a subdirs.el file, so its
subdirs won't be loaded automatically.  So the files shouldn't be
loaded, unless /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/dictionaries-common/ is added
to the path explicitly.

And it isn't in 'emacs-snapshot -q':

Perhaps some package on your system is messing with load-path?
