This may be a browser thing?

I just tried this on the browser I have to hand (IE on winXP) and it
appears to be treating SOFT HYPHEN as a zero-width, non-printing
character.

I used both ­  and ­ and got the same result both times.

So, that's consistent with what Albrecht saw in FF then; it sounds like
web browsers think SHY has a column width of zero...
