The function webster-current-word in webster.el is slightly brain damaged:
when on the first character of a word, it returns the PREVIOUS word!  It's
also poorly written.  Here is a correct version.

(defun webster-current-word ()
   "Word cursor is over, as a string."
   (save-excursion
      (let (beg)
        (re-search-backward "\\<")
        (setq beg (point))
        (forward-word 1)
        (buffer-substring beg (point)))))
