It is even more interesting. Support of dash likely was unintentionally
lost in the following commit:
https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=6779f8f424883ffd202e24cbd8bb4e241db294b0
that generalizes handling of punctuation, unfortunately dash and
apostrophe are not always belong to punctuation symbols in *text* modes.
That commit even updates manual to a less precise phrase, however .texi
file only, so the change was lost. Nicolas later restored apostrophe in
the commit c0369a798470763f8f3c69cf2079c3a194635feb

Half of decade already passed since dash after currency symbol was
broken so maybe it is better to fix current state by updating the manual
(including bugfix branch) and by adding some tests.
P.S. It is deja vu, I almost certainly saw quite recent discussions
whether punctuation may be handled in some regexps in more generic way.
Consequences may be similar in respect to characters that are almost
punctuation...
