> I'd be tempted to shorten them to align optically with the baseline, or use another device, such as a hyphen or space.

A hyphen won't help much, as you can see by the one already there. In Type 1 and TT fonts, hyphens and parentheses are usually designed to work with lowercase letters; with uppercase letters (or lining figures), they sit too low and you need to play around with baseline shift. In OT fonts, hyphens and parentheses can be set to automatically adjust when you use an all caps setting.
