The question is FOP-specific, and will probably find it's answer on a FOP list.
This is a bug in FOP, treating zero-width space as a non-zero-width space. With
regard to hyphenation, I don't know how to do it in DocBook, but there is XSL FO
attribute 'hyphenate' that should be used to switch it off. But again, I suspect
that won't affect the way FOP handles dashes and zero-width spaces.
