I assume Google's engine has enough experience by now to parse joinedwords.

You would be mistaken. Look at this thread: they still haven't figured out underscores between words. They're light years away from unjoining word clusters.
<tangent> which makes me wonder why it's so uncool in the webmaster community to use hyphenated domain names. maybe in 20 years time, all domains will be hyphenated, and we'll look back at our silly lotsofwordspackedtogether.com domains and laugh. </tangent>
