You should never hyphenate a word with a hyphen in it since you then cannot tell what the word is.

Typographical I think it is more important to have good hyphenation when using only left justification. Without hyphenation you will get "pattern" that disturbs the reading. I have noticed this and it is also something I read about in a typography book or similar.
