Statistically spoken, MS Word is a standard, yes. So this can be regarded and
solved as a defect. 

I believe that "in a perfect world" the word count feature should have more
options than a "Compatibility flag" or, even simpler, a change to "Words
behavior". The handling of dots and slashes in URLS, the use of "this and that
character or special character" being a seperator, a word for itself or
something "that binds words to one" and the like is likely to be different for
different purposes and especially in different languages. When writing so, I am
think about the Complext Text Layout languages like Khmer, Nepali, Arabic, 
Thai...

As a hint how a UI-driven "word count tuning could be realized, the so-called
"forbidden characters" in CJK languages already have such a "list" that can be
edited by the user. To access this, one has to enable CJK support first:
 - Tools-Options-Language Settings-Languages -> Check "CJK support", OK
 - Tools-Options-Language Settings-Asian Layout:
Here you can see the "forbidden character lists for the CJK languages that can
be "standard" or "user-defined".
