Err Possibly...
I suspect it's type overloading that goes wrong.  It works if the
logical expression is first assigned to a bool, then the bool is used
in the "if":

if ((!check_if_valid || !c.mid_required()) {
    bool tmp;
    tmp = check(i, word_end, run_together_limit - 1, end_pos, words + 1);
    if (tempbool) {
        return true;
    }
}

I suspect a problem with a difference between type casting to bool and
assigning a bool.

This happens in several places.

Using Forte8.
