Well 14 years old bug reports are not really good references.

In any case: at least the second bug report is not relevant, the
attached PDF uses a hard hyphen 002D and not a soft hyphen 00AD as
context (correctly) does. 

I don't know what typst does (you didn't attach an example pdf) but
if they use ActualText I wouldn't recommend to copy that. Support
for ActualText is worse than support for soft hyphen (and I had even
examples where words or sylables got lost in copy & paste if
ActualText was involved).
