The following is a patch for that. I take my original statement back. The character I removed was not a hyphen as I expected, but rather a soft-hyphen (U+00AD). On the other hand, the fact that removing this character fixed the problem might narrow down the problem a bit more. I will now look into this a bit more deeply. -- Michael Welsh Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu)
