It is IMHO due to 866 codepage which does not have \cyrii and \CYRII
using i and I instead.

For hyphenation -- most widely used T2A. It defines \cyrii in the
same place as i (\CYRII respectively) which is in my opinion was VERY
bad idea. One of consequences is solution of problem you pointed out.
Another -- clashes with English hyphenation patterns when they are used
together (ukrunhyph).
