Dash for term hierarchy making new terms

I'm not sure if I should be looking at the dash being inserted wrong, or the dash being read wrong.

Noticed this in html.. refer to image

Fresh install, dl module, then patch... did not 'help/fix'.
Results in image.

Checked "Other" and entered term

*also when i went in there after this patch , the other was checked with a 4 in the box. probably left overs from the other test.

Sorry this took so long, been busy.

On initial test seems to work great. I'll do more in next few days but love it. Thanks so much!
