Also, is "-" actually valid? I seem to recall having problems when

Paths with "-" in certainly work for me. If there are any recipes

break in that situation then we should just fix them.
We found an issue with paths that -start- with a '-', there are
apparently many places where paths are passed into various shell, and
the initial '-' can be read as an argument identifier.
I think that I saw an email talking about "-D" in the TMPDIR caused
some some recipes to pick that up as a CFLAG define and cause problems

Yes. It's actually caused by the following statement in subversion-native.
./build/ac-macros/neon.m4: SVN_NEON_INCLUDES=[`$PKG_CONFIG neon --cflags
| $SED -e 's/-D[^ ]*//g'`]
./build/ac-macros/neon.m4: SVN_NEON_INCLUDES=[`$neon_config --cflags |
$SED -e 's/-D[^ ]*//g'`]
And there's a bug filed for it.

OE already has quite a range of baroque restrictions on what sort of
TMPDIR you are allowed to use (no nfs, no symlinks in the path, no
spaces in the name) and every new prohibition represents a loss in
usability. This patch as proposed already forbids a whole range of
characters, including things like "+", and I think that disallowing "-"
as well would be a step too far.
I don't believe Qi Chen sent it to the list, but we built path names
with all of the special characters and tried to run builds. The
specific list is based on the results of those tests. The other items
are already broken, and we're trying to be explicit with this for end
users. (Note, it's really the TMPDIR that matters.. the 'build'
directory is a lot more flexible.)
