You should test if you suffer the issue in, let's say, <i>what</i>ever (which should be displayed as whatever). I bet that the renderer is also going to wrap in the middle of the word when necessary.
That bug irritates me, too. Ideally, rendering (and, thus, hyphenation) should be based on the final text, with HTML tags not considered - except where they're supposed to affect rendering, as with BR linebreaks and other such special cases.

The various small-caps workarounds are particularly galling in that respect. You wind up with stuff like:

Imagine Small C
aps Here

...where you don't even get a hyphen, because "C" and "aps" aren't understood to be a single word.
