No, I see the same problem.

I do `M-x shell' and see this in buffer `*shell*':
bash: cannot set terminal process group (-1): Inappropriate ioctl for device
bash: no job control in this shell

(Perhaps you have an idea about that? If not, OK.)
But doing what you said anyway (`man find > foo'), the output

name: HYPHEN
general-category: Pd (Punctuation, Dash)
decomposition: (8208) ('‐')
