This issue seems to be closely related to #944330. When processing a
footnote, Sphinx wraps text (which leads to the word being split by hyphen),
then joins it by space (so the space gets added after the hyphen) and wraps
again.

I have filed a bug upstream, and marking both bugs as forwarded to it.
