The interesting thing is that the punctuation probably should be considered when deciding to split the word, but, it shouldn't be included when deciding where to put the split. I wonder if this is one of those cases where the programmer/designer/whoever decided to fix it later when they had time to think about it properly and that time has never arrived.
I kind-of wish I could train myself to think that ragged right looks acceptable, but it's never going to happen. It would irritate me on every single page whereas odd hyphenation only happens on relatively few pages. Luckily I read only in English, mostly on a big screen Forma and don't need a particularly large font-size (yet) so it reduces the weirdness frequency down to manageable levels.
