Would you be so kind to fix this?
The problematic case seems to be: a combination of a non-letter in one
font, followed by a letter in another font. LuaTeX does not consider
that a valid word start. I will add an item to the tracker database.
That was a bad analysis. The bug is not in luatex at all, it is a bug
in fontspec. Some input like
(\emph{hyphenation})
in fontspec produces the following low-level node list
( \/ h y p h e n a t i o n \/ )
and the "\/ h" combination is not a valid word start (the second italic
correction is fine, the first one is the problem).
In this, luatex is compatible with TeX itself, you can try
\showhyphens{(\/hyphenation\/)}
in plain TeX to see the thing happening (same lack of hyphenation).
Closing the luatex tracker item,
