It wasn't clear because you never said that explicitly, and because
"hyphen" is ambiguous in this context: it could refer to ASCII '-'
character or to non-ASCII '' or to non-ASCII '‐'. They are all
different characters, and potentially hint on different problems.

OK. If you manually load man.el from Emacs 25, does the problem go
away?
Also, if you invoke the 'man' command from the Bash shell and redirect
its output to a file, what characters/bytes do you see in place of
those hyphens in the file created by that command?
