You are right, I found that there is very often just one more or less character, that makes the mechanically compounded word senseless and erroneous. However, this would cause the elimination of a lot of potentially good words, therefore this needs to be verified. Maybe this approach would spill the child with the bath water.
Best is to eliminate mechanic compounding completely, the sooner, the better.

I think *that* would be throwing away the child. In languages like Dutch it is so easy to form a new but perfectly valid word by compounding, it is impossible to include all the possible combinations in a word list.

It might an idea to identify problem cases by running the list of known-good words through the suggestion mechanism, and making a list of all the variations that are accepted (only) using the mechanical compound mechanism. This list could then be reviewed and the words that are incorrectly spelled and/or nonsensical placed on a "reject list".
