That seems kind of broken in this case -- it's quite common for
"phonetic" characters to be intermixed in a word with latin characters,
and certainly nobody thinks of those boundaries as being word
boundaries.

What else is the "script" info used for?

[Of course it would also be good if `C-u C-x =' mentioned the script of
a character.]
