Are there any ISO endorsed standards for counting words?
If not, then it's not a bug, its merely a difference of opinion on how composite words ought to be counted.
There are many users (possibly millions) who have used the PI against their existing libraries (possibly billions of books), most (probably vast majority) of whom are only interested in consistent relative counts.
Any change would have to be an 'opt-in ' choice and it would open up discussion to the vagaries of different word separators and different languages - e.g. I would not want a non-breaking hyphen to count as a word separator.
