It comes from the settings for hyphen, when you look at the definition

  \definebreakpoint [compound] [-] [nleft=3,nright=3,type=1]

you can see it needs at least three characters at the left and right before a 
line break is inserted,

When you change the settings to

  \definebreakpoint [compound] [-] [nleft=2,nright=2]

a linebreak is inserted after the hyphen. You can also change the values only 
for a certain language when you add “language=…” to \definebreakpoint.
