Bug on the new way for parsing nicks in latest svn

A nickname cannot start with e minus "-" or a bug will occure.
Example: "ãƒ„Masta-G" doesnt give any issues, but when I set "-ãƒ„Masta-G" this will pop up:

bad option "-ãƒ„Masta-G": must be -exact, -glob, -regexp, or --
while executing
"switch [lindex $elt 0] {
      text {
            set txt [lindex $elt 1]
            set slen [string length $txt]
            for {set idx 0} { $idx <= $slen} {incr idx} {
         ..."

By the way, sending the bug report about this one doesn't work, so i'm posting it here.
When I press the "Send bug report" button, this pops up:

<b>phpXML error:</b> XML error in file ,line 12:XML_ERR_NAME_REQUIRED
