This is perfectly logical. The variable is only the number, exactly as it
should be. The hyphen was included as a literal character in the layout of the
headers and footers for your chapter files, exactly as it should be. If you use
the *same* template with the same page layouts for the TOC, you get a literal
hyphen when you don't want it because it's part of the standard page layout. To
get rid of it, you need to have a different page layout design for the TOC
pages, either by adding custom master pages for the TOC to the standard
template or by using a custom template for the TOC.
