There's a little bit of explanation here: <http://wiki.contextgarden.net/Encodings_and_Regimes> ...but basically, TeX's hyphenation trickery doesn't know how to deal with composite characters (when it puts an " atop a u [pardon my 7-bit rendition]). If a word contains a composite "u as a character, it won't break.
