Thanks for reporting!
Confirmed.

This is because `org-sparse-tree' will produce the following matcher:

     TEST-HELLO="one"

Which is interpreted as: Has tag "TEST" and does not have property
"HELLO" set to "one".

AFAIK, there is currently no mechanism to escape "-" in matcher string.
`org-make-tags-matcher' assumes that property name can only contain
alphanumeric charters and underscore.
