No as in tips&tricks' lyric-hyphen-retain.ly says: "In tightly engraved music, hyphens are removed, except at the end of the line. Normally, lyrics are not typeset so tightly, but by tuning down padding of in SeparationItem, syllables are put closer together, and as a result hyphens may disappear."
However, this behaviour is not very good because if the space is too tight the hyphen will be removed but the space between syllables won't. Bert > I believe this is what LilyPond does.
