The case you mention is rather more clear cut than what I was thinking of. In a book I'm proofing I've come across a double hyphenated word and because it appears to be in the original text, I chose to leave it as it was even though I thought it was stylistically horrible. The book isn't even that old either.

Sometimes two hyphens in a row are used to represent an mdash. I always try and replace them.
