That's what I thought I remembered. The rule makes some sense for
the n/r-hyphens, but I don't see the point of it for the y-hyphen.

It's intended to be definitional, but not necessarily in accordance
with the current official definition. 
Since some things in the grammar definition are changing anyway,
it's not a big deal to adjust these small details.
One other thing that bothers me in the official definition is
the restriction for ntc/nts/ndj/ndz in lujvo but not in cmene or
fuhivla.
Currently the rules as I wrote them handle this as in the official
prescription, but this lujvo-only restriction is jarring.
If they are not pronounceable, then they should not be allowed
in cmene and fuhivla either. If they are pronounceable, they
should be allowed in lujvo. (My preference would be the latter.)
