nemeth->tl: em dash (U+2014) is a real word separator, en dash (U+2013) is for
ranges and relationships, so it has a similar role, see
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash#Em_dash). I think, em dash and en dash have to
be word separators.
Checking em dash and en dash usage is better with grammar checkers.

(By the way, Unicode and 8-bit Windows encodings contain en dash and em dash, so
the problem is specific for the dictionary encoding, too. I believe, Hunspell
supports default word breaking at en dashes with UTF-8 encoded dictionaries. For
other encodings, you can convert en dashes to double hyphens (--) temporarily,
Hunspell will handle it correctly:

$ ~/hunspell-1.2.8/src/tools/hunspell -d
/opt/openoffice.org3/share/uno_packages/cache/uno_packages/SdbQvF_/dict-en.oxt/en_US
Bose--Einsten
& Bose--Einsten 9 0: Bose--Einstein, Bose--Einsteinium, Bose--Eisenstein,
Bose--Reinstate, Bose--Minster, Einsteinium, Reinstatement, Liechtenstein,
Rubinstein)
