Yes. It seems the i-search and dash interaction is problematic. A
simple macro for searching for a dash:

;; Keyboard Macro Editor.  Press C-c C-c to finish; press C-x k RET to
cancel.
;; Original keys: C-s <right>

Command: last-kbd-macro
Key: none

Macro:

C-s			;; isearch-forward
<right>			;; forward-char

The dash is missing after C-s.


A macro which inserts a dash character into the buffer works. I tested
it.
