Just in case someone else might have this issue and need a piece of code to not break words on certain symbols.
I have my own quirky variable naming convention, they are prefixed with their scope. Also this code works with straight strings and not mixed content but can be modified to do this with a little work.
<xsl:variable name="l_Title">
<xsl:call-template name="ct_KeepWordTogether">
<xsl:with-param name="p_String" select="string to parse goes here" as="xs:string" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<fo:marker marker-class-name="partsPageTitle"><xsl:copy-of select="$l_Title" /></fo:marker>
<xsl:template name="ct_KeepWordTogether">
<xsl:param name="p_String" select="''" as="xs:string" />
<xsl:param name="p_Counter" select="1" as="xs:double" />
<xsl:variable name="l_ToSpaceOrNotToSpace" select="if ($p_Counter = 1) then '' else ' '" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($p_String, ' ')">
<xsl:variable name="l_StringToParse" select="substring-before($p_String, ' ')" />
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($l_StringToParse, '-') or contains($l_StringToParse, '/') or contains($l_StringToParse, '\')">
<xsl:value-of select="$l_ToSpaceOrNotToSpace" /><fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always"><xsl:value-of select="$l_StringToParse" /></fo:inline>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($l_ToSpaceOrNotToSpace, $l_StringToParse)" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:call-template name="ct_KeepWordTogether">
<xsl:with-param name="p_String" select="substring-after($p_String, ' ')" as="xs:string" />
<xsl:with-param name="p_Counter" select="$p_Counter + 1" as="xs:double" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($p_String, '-') or contains($p_String, '/') or contains($p_String, '\')">
<xsl:value-of select="$l_ToSpaceOrNotToSpace" /><fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always"><xsl:value-of select="$p_String" /></fo:inline>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($l_ToSpaceOrNotToSpace, $p_String)" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Short answer is it can be done while creating the marker.

Thanks Jeremias,
Seems I forgot to put one twist into the mix. The title is a marker. So did some testing with the xsl:fo source by adding the fo:inline manually and parsing it.
<fo:marker marker-class-name="partsPageTitle">FLUSH WINDOW ASSEMBLY, NON-EMERGENCY <fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always">TIP-IN/FIXED</fo:inline></fo:marker>
Works like a charm. So my question is when defining the marker "partsPagetitle" can I place the fo:inline there while creating the xsl:fo or will I need to do a pass on the FO and add the fo:inline during this step. Not a big deal to parse the FO but do not want to go up the wrong path while creating a called-template to parse the string, find any word containing symbols, and then wrap the string in fo:inline.

Have you had the "TIP-IN/FIXED" enclosed in an fo:inline? That should
really work. Otherwise, it's a bug (or missing functionality). Using
that on fo:block, it prevents the whole block text from being broken.
As an alternative, you can try to use word joiners (⁠) to keep
the formatter from breaking a word apart at a particular place.
I've verified both approaches with Apache FOP 1.0:
<fo:block-container width="11.3cm" background-color="lightgray">
<fo:block>FLUSH WINDOW ASSEMBLY, NON-EMERGENCY TIP-IN/FIXED</fo:block>
<fo:block keep-together.within-line="always">FLUSH WINDOW ASSEMBLY, NON-EMERGENCY TIP-IN/FIXED</fo:block>
<fo:block>FLUSH WINDOW ASSEMBLY, NON-EMERGENCY <fo:inline keep-together.within-line="always">TIP-IN/FIXED</fo:inline></fo:block>
<fo:block>FLUSH WINDOW ASSEMBLY, NON-EMERGENCY TIP-⁠IN/⁠FIXED</fo:block>
</fo:block-container>
Some FO formatters implement Unicode UAX #14 for line breaking:
http://unicode.org/reports/tr14/
That document may give you additional ideas on how to control
line-breaking behaviour.
