This is a peculiarity of our formatter: it does not break words. If you 
want to enable a break between digits, intersperse them with zero-width
spaces: 1​2​3​4​5...

They have chosen a different method to cope with overconstrained 
layout. It may work well in this case and be less nice in other situations.

Neither of the above: it's a feature. In any case, it is not safe to expect
a determinate behaviour in this case: you are in a twilight zone, with
no spec to control the behaviour. For the sake of portability, you should
avoid these layouts: either increase the space available, or split 
words to smaller parts with soft hyphens/ZWSPs.
