IIRC, the apostrophe and hyphen were added to SWORD as part of book name
recognition as a result of those threads. I don't know if it was since
the last release.
I didn't look at the implementation, but I think that when trying to
recognize a name it will keep going if the next byte matches a prefix in
a name. If so, it handles even more than that.
But, I think there is a test case for SWORD to test Bible book names. If
so, it could be really easy to find out. Either way, testing is better
than speculating. :)
JSword probably can handle an apostrophe but cannot handle a hyphen,
periods and non-leading numbers. Its recognizer needs to be updated.

The issue has been discussed at length in other threads in recent

remember the exact outcome for fear of remembering it incorrectly. But
three issue was not cut-and-dry.
