Unfortunately, not. By default, gsch2pcb hands all footprints to the m4
processor. There is an option to skip m4 for good, though ("--skip-m4"). But
unless the option is given, hyphens in footprint names result in broken pcb
files. The breakage does not show immediately, but usually somewhere down
the work flow.
