This happens to be in a 2-column table. There are no graphics or other entities in any of the right-column cells that are wide enough to force the left column to be so narrow that this word breaking occurs.
Any ideas?

I don't have access to Flare at the minute, so I'm going off my (becoming more and more unreliable) memory...
If you select the table in the editor you should see a representation at the top of table width properties. This will tell you if someone has explicitly set the column width. Try to set it to auto, or similar, and see what happens.

I am the only author.
Because I have not explicitly set any width values, the table and column values both show implicitly as auto.

I don't. But when things don't act as expected and I see something like that (which in this case relates to a design element you are having trouble with) I'll try and rule it out as a contributing factor.
My next step in diagnosing would be to create a new two-column table and seeing if it does the same thing...

I've had issues with columns needlessly squashing themselves even when no width is set in the <col> tags or stylesheet or tablestyle. It seems that auto width doesn't necessarily always mean adjust to the text inside. What sometimes works for me is to add a column to the table. It seems to force Flare to reassess the column widths and can fix squashed columns. Then deleting the new column keeps the new settings. Don't ask me why or how... It's particularly a problem for me when the table has a lot of columns (>6 or so).
Might be worth a try encapsulating problematic cell text in a <p></p> tag. This seems to resolve a few issues with tables and alignment and might help Flare decide to hyphenate or not.
Explicit column widths will work if you can't get around it, either setting locally in the <col> tag, or if it's a common issue with several similar tables, globally in the stylesheet, or globally in the table style.
