Not for me. What you've done is insert a math formula inthe middle
of a word. I can hardly blame TeX for not hyphenating around that.

You may try

\def\u#1{\penalty10000\hskip 0pt plus 0pt
         \underbar{#1}\penalty10000\hskip 0pt plus 0pt}

so that TeX will consider 'prep\u{o}sterous' as
	<the word 'prep'>\underbar{o}<the word 'sterous'>
where you might hope that 'sterous' has a hyphenation point.

That is the way out. TeX can only hyphenate in a series
of letters. There can't be any formula's or boxes in a word.
