Dear Sue;
I think it is readability and the chance that a missed hyphen or page
number/break being announced would ruin the word being comprehended. An author
never hyphenates words like that, it is purely a product of the printing
process. a Misprinted word, on the other hand, is something the editor or
someone else missed along the way, so we cannot change it. At least that is my
take, for what it is worth...
