In addition to what Ilya wrote:

It is not a bug. It a feature (standard conformance). Anyway, try the
keyboard variant "lyx" (available on XFree >= 4.3, 'setxkbmap -variant
,lyx us,il' ), and then press shift-y to get an RLM character. Type one
after the minus.

Better still: shift-minus should give a hyphen on that variant. This
avoids the problem in the first place.
