This certainly seems like a bug to me, although I had to modify your  
examples to see the error:
	
	\documentclass{article}
	\begin{document}
	\makeatletter
	\in@{bonbon}{bon}\ifin@ YES\else NO\fi  % gives YES
	\in@{bonbon}{bonb}\ifin@ YES\else NO\fi % gives NO
	\in@{client-to-client}{client-to}\ifin@ YES\else NO\fi  % gives NO
	\in@{client-to-client}{client-to-}\ifin@ YES\else NO\fi % gives YES
	\makeatother
	\end{document}
	
The tendency seems to be not to change the internals of LaTeX2e, but  
I'd be happy to replace the current implementation of \in@ with a more  
correct version. What do others think? If others are amenable to the  
change, would you be willing to write the new version?

Cheers,
Will
