Oh, sorry, didn't catch that. There are some spurious asterisks in your message, as displayed by gmail anyway. The most recent one has "block-major** *"
I don't know the answer. Some unwanted interaction between the tokenization and query parser and wildcards? If it's going to split "block-major-57" into "block" and "major-57" will it also split query "block-major*" into "block" and "major*" or leave it as "block-major*". The first might be expected to work, the latter wouldn't. Maybe try storing this field without analysis, or just with something simple like downcasing, and searching with a PrefixQuery? I think that would work. -- Ian.
