In GNU Emacs 19.25.1 of Thu Jun  2 1994 on penelope (sparc-sun-sunos4.1.3C)

When correcting a hyphenated word, the entire word is replaced.

% emacs -q

Then type:

back-compatable M-$

Note that the whole hyphenated word is highlighted.  Choose (1), the
correction for "compatable".  The entire hyphenated word is replaced by

compatible

Ta, Simon.
