So is everyone saying that this place name has never been considered as a 
single word?

All that aside is anyone aware of any attestations to the pronunciation of 
this place name?

Which, by the way, is not uncommon. The same technique is used at the  
end of Ezekiel and in a variety of other passages.

Maybe you didn't see my post:   "After the Akeidah, Abraham called it Yireh"

We learn from a Midrash:

"The original name of the place was Shalem - the name given it by
Shem, son of Noah - whom the sages identify with Malchitzedek, king
of Jerusalem.  After the Akeidah, Abraham called it Yireh.  In
deference to both Shem and Abraham, G-d synthesized both names and
called it Yerushalayim"
