Tested with your dict (hyph-fr.dict) and with the kobo's dict and kepub.
With french we use a lot of hyphenation and at the end of a line when we have a quotation mark '«', followed by a no break space and the word, kobo create a false hyphenation like if (see the example) '« jeune' was a true word and it's hyphenated after the no break space : '« -jeune'


ex : Ruth présente O comme « jeune homme de qualité » is sometimes badly hyphenate like (see the picture):
xxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxxx xxxxx « -
jeune homme de qualité » xxxx xxx

the correct sentence should be :

xxxx xxxx xxx xxxxxxx xxxxx « jeu-
ne homme xxx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx

or

xxx xxxx xxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxx xxx
« jeune homme xxxx xxxxxxxx xxx

Can we have a rule : do not hyphenate after a no break space ?
Or perhaps I need to soft hyphen the epub with the plugin hyphenate it before converting to kepub.
KePub has issues with hyphenation. There's nothing we can do to fix this. The only solution would be to try ePub and see how that goes.
