Why? The documentation states:
-b, --escape print C-style escapes for nongraphic characters
but - looks like a graphical character to me, so it doesn't need an escape.
I don't see a problem here, so I'm marking this as not a bug; however,
feel free to followup with more details, such as better justification
for why - should be treated as a nongraphic character.
