As far as I can tell, it was never explicitly done and just depended upon the calculation to put the hyphen there (perhaps by way of being buggy). There was a bit of commented-out code put in (by Tracy Llenos) to force a hyphen if the first syllable consisted only of the initial, but it was marked as a "bad idea" and never uncommented. In my opinion, this is a stylistic decision, so maybe we implement a "stylistic hyphen" in this case. It would be switchable from TeX and default to being enabled. If we go this way, I wouldn't try to fix it in 4.0. Opinions?
