This is my test text in a program listing box:

->
-->
--->
---->
----->

If I generate html via:
File->Export->LyXHTML
This is the relevant part:

-&gt;
&ndash;&gt;
&mdash;&gt;
&mdash;-&gt;
&mdash;&ndash;&gt;

If instead I generate html via:
File->Export->HTML
This is the relevant part:

-&gt;
--&gt;
—&gt;
—-&gt;
—--&gt;

In which the last three have a leading em dash.

Note that I am using 64-bit Ubuntu 12.10 and have installed
from the Ubuntu repositories:
Lyx : 2.0.3-3
elyxer : 1.2.3-1

I hope this can shed some light on the matter.
