How about:
(defun capitalize-word-at-point ()
"Capitalize the word at point.
If point is within a word, don't move point."
(interactive)
(if (looking-at "\\b")
(capitalize-word 1)
(capitalize-word -1)))
Or:
(defadvice capitalize-word (before point-within-word activate)
"When point is within a word, capitalize the word around point
-- but only when called interactively."
(if (and (called-interactively-p 'any)
(not (looking-at "\\b")))
(backward-word (prefix-numeric-value current-prefix-arg))))
