You are right, "hyphen" and "non-breaking hyphen" are considered equivalent when "Ignore Composition" is enabled; this is however an intended effect, as the "non-breaking hyphen" character can be decomposed to the "hyphen" character, in a non-breaking variant (see unicode U+2011)
We have updated the FAQ accordingly:
Ignore Composition: in Unicode, some characters can be encoded using either a single codepoint, or a sequence of codepoints. This is especially the case for accented lowercase Roman vowels (those part of ISO-8859-1), and Korean letters. Also, some characters can be decomposed to an “equivalent” character or sequence, e.g. ¼ can be decomposed to 1/4, ² to 2, ④ to 4, 𝒄 to c, non-breaking hyphen to hyphen etc. When enabled, both forms are considered equal
