Subfig's ragged-right caption with hyphenated word breaks unaesthetically

Question

Minimal working example

\documentclass[11pt, twoside]{report}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage[]{subfig}
\usepackage{graphicx}

\begin{document}
    \begin{figure}
        \captionsetup[subfigure]{format=hang,singlelinecheck=false,justification=raggedright}
        \subfloat[4-Hy\-droxy\-ben\-zo\-ic acid]{
                \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{4hba_600dpi.png}
        }
        \hfill
        \subfloat[Hy\-droxy\-ben\-zo\-ic acid]{
                \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{4hba_600dpi.png}
        }
        \hfill
        \subfloat[Hydroxybenzoic acid]{
                \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{4hba_600dpi.png}
        }

        \subfloat[Hydroxybenzoic acid]{
                \includegraphics[width=0.2\textwidth]{4hba_600dpi.png}
        }
    \end{figure}

    \begin{figure}
        \captionsetup[subfigure]{format=hang,singlelinecheck=false,justification=}
        \subfloat[4-Hy\-droxy\-ben\-zo\-ic acid]{

Description

When the justification 'raggedright' is used and the caption must be hyphenated another break is introduced at the next space. Non-breaking spaces can prevent this, but are a poor solution. The workaround used here is resetting justification to the default value. At least, I assume it's what I'm doing in the second figure. The document was compiled using xelatex.

Question(s)

Am I doing anything wrong? Is this a bug? Am I missing a setting? How can I have raggedright justification and proper line-breaking of hyphenated words in subfig captions?

Most likely not duplicates or related: Preventing hyphenation of specific short, repeated, hyphenated words, Hyphenation in listings captions doesn't work correctly, Prevent wrapping of subfloat captions, Figure caption has line break problems when using subfig

Answer 1

Use justification=RaggedRight (it might require two LaTeX runs). Be careful with end-of-lines.

\documentclass[11pt, twoside]{report}

\usepackage{ragged2e}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}

\subfloat[4-Hy\-droxy\-ben\-zo\-ic acid]{%
