Unfortunately Tiger does not handle soft hyphens (U+00AD) correctly. After inserting a soft hyphen it stays visible even if text is not wrapped at soft hyphen's position.
As far as I remember soft hyphens did work in Panther. So I filed a bug report (ID: 4633376) in summer 2006.
This bug really is a major problem. It simply makes professional text layout impossible.
Just try it out using TextEdit. Just insert a soft hyphen using character palette.
Update: This bug has been resolved in Leopard.
