I am acutally taking this approach for Ukrainian (in MorfologikUkrainianSpellerRule.java) - if word is not in dictionary and contains hyphen I check all parts of it and if all of them correct I consider the compound correct. Similar to arguments for English above it may miss some words wrongly using hyphen but the benefits definitely outweight the drawbacks.
I am all for having such logic in common code instead.
