I don't think so.  As I understand it a hapax legonmenon is just a one time 
usage of a word period not the form.

The rule is very simple actually. The dagesh is dropped after an open
syllable.

This is always the case after an open syllable in the middle of a word,
and is also the case after open syllables at the end of the previous
word
when the two words are "connected" (i.e. the previous word has a
connecting cantillation mark).
