Really? The latter recognization doesn't seem to make sense. I might
be too-trained so that I capture "(crash|archive|blah) recovery" as
implicit compound words. But anyway there's no strong reason to be
aggressive to unhyphenate compound words.

"point-in-time-recovery" and "(during) emergency-recovery operations"
seem like better be unhyphnated, but now I'm not sure it is really so.

Thanks for the comments.
