nice find!

None actually (in our case), I'd say. The dash in fact is important for 
the standard request handler which supports the full Lucene query 
language. There it is used as a NOT operator when put in front of a 
search term.

But since we use the Dismax request handler - which doesn't understand 
the full Lucene query language - it shouldn't matter.

It could be an issue with eDismax in Solr 3.1+ again, however. eDismax 
is an enhanced Dismax request handler that supports Lucene query 
language. We also switched to eDismax in trunk already.

However, we'll also have to remove the * character from the escape 
pattern to support wildcard queries with Solr 3.1+ and eDismax.
