if you insert a backslash before the offending
hyphen in the source it prevents the split.

not sure if this is helpful, but perhaps it
shouldn't be splitting in the regular text
output either...

from /sys/doc/troff.ps!25 :

	Words that contain hyphens ... are
	always subject to splitting after
	those characters, whether automatic
	hyphenation is on or off.

so you can't just turn off hyphenation...
