I believe I ran into this problem before, and I'm pretty sure that a back tick will work.
NOTE: a backtick is not the same thing as a single quote Using the backtick will also help you handle (and hopefully rename) tables and so forth that accidentally or unknowingly use a reserved keyword. using mysql-front, it had a bad tendancy to enclose table names with backticks, and so table creation would be allowed, but when i tried to access the table from the command line i got all sorts of errors, and using the backticks again worked. So try the back tick (`table-with-dash`) and see if that works.
