Comment (by arush):

 For the time being, I would say use the solution that @afercia is
 suggesting. John and I are going to tackle this from the screen reader
 angle because there are legitimate reasons to use break-word, this really
 is a screen reader bug, and while it's fair to ask devs and designers to
 adhere to WCAG, it's not fair to ask them to accommodate screen reader
 bugs, even if it's all the screen readers/screen reader magnification
 combos which have this bug/feature.
