My mistake, the code correctly generates break opportunities after the 
HYPHEN-MINUS U+002D. I didn't notice because the breaker didn't choose 
them, probably because of their higher penalty value. I tested again 
with words like:
Rindfleisch-etikettierungs-überwachungs-aufgaben-übertragungs-gesetz
Donau-dampf-schiffahrts-elektrizitaeten-hauptbetriebswerk-bauunterbeamten-gesellschaft
and it breaks correctly after the hyphens.
