Thank you for taking the time to file this bug report.
I can confirm this bug. If I copy/paste that line or any line that
starts with a '-' it works fine. If I type it in manually I cannot get
it to stay without showing "#NAME?". It seems when there is a dash at
the beginning of a cell it expects an equation and there doesn't seem to
be a way around it, it doesn't behave the same in the vanilla version of
OOo (according to upstream).
A workaround for now would be to type any lines that begin with '-' in
OOo writer then copy it and paste it in the cell you want.
