The string you sent uses 2011   NON-BREAKING HYPHEN for the double dashes.
This is correctly converted to \nobreakdash- in the generated LaTeX file.

What happens, if you use only 002D      HYPHEN-MINUS

  -*rw-r--r-- *newbie users 277 Jan 7 14:42 .asoundrc
  
which LyX 2.2 converts to  

  -{*}rw-r-{}-r-{}- {*}newbie users 277 Jan 7 14:42 .asoundrc
  
?

Yes, there was some work on the dashes and double dashes. However this was
meant to be an improvement.

Depending on how the no-break-hyphens got into your document, your
problem may turn out to be an actual improvement (uncover a hithero
hidden problem) or an unwanted side-effect.

So using this route is a possible workaround/solution.
