I stand admonished.  In German, it appears quite natural
to split off two-letter pre- and suffixes, and the English
hyphenation rules often allow it as well.  I agree that
a solution that does not require excessive hyphenation is
preferable.  But we're trying to satisfy a number of constraints
that cannot always be reconciled, so something has to give.
Then it is often simply conventions and/or (personal) aesthetics
that decides which of several solutions is the least broken.
