Yet another interesting bug (presumably in pdftex-1.20a):
When a word is hyphenated automatically, the resulting
hyphen is correctly protruded into the right margin,
but a hyphen part of a compung word in French is not protruded
at all. Looks _really_ bad when both kinds of hyphens
occure on two consecutive lines...
 
Here is a test file showing the problem:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}

\setlength\textwidth{12,5cm}
\setlength\parindent{0cm}

\usepackage[latin1]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{lmodern}
\usepackage[frenchb]{babel}

\usepackage[protrusion=true,expansion=false]{microtype}

\begin{document}

Con{\TeX}t. En revanche, un niveau de complication supplémentaire 
apparaîtra forcément dès que l'on voudra autoriser qu'un format 
comme \LaTeX\ soit généré au-dessus de pdfe\TeX{} ou au-dessus 
de Oméga, prenne en compte des options telles que
enc\TeX{} ou non.

\end{document}
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

The bug _does not_ occur with TL2003 (pdftex 1.11a)...
I was told it is corrected in pdfTeX-1.20b, anybody can
confirm?
