It's curious that this recalls a situation in the Russian language, where in the first half of the 19th century корабль, рубль [korabl ', rubl'] still had the standard pronunciation / korap '/, / rup' /, but then under the influence of orthography (and also of declined forms, I think) soft l returned, and the old standard forms were kept only in popular speech and dialects.
