My guess is that this is caused either by hyphenate.js or
hyphenate-selectively.js, both of which, thankfully, will be going away
once dlang.org is updated (their removal has already been merged into
git HEAD).

In the meantime, one option is to disable JS on dlang.org (that's what I
do, and it makes the site much more usable).
