There's actually a sensible reason for this, at least for Interstate highways: <http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2a.htm> Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Section 2A.13, guidance paragraph 9: "When an Interstate route is displayed in text form instead of using the route shield, a hyphen should be used for clarity, such as "I-50."" Of course, this applies to road signs and not maps, but I still count this as precedence. Renderers should ideally tolerate ref tags of the form "I-50".
Yes, I think we all recognize that I-x is the common form outside OSM. But for whatever reason we've been using I x in OSM for a long time.
