Unfortunately this falls into the realm of changes to syntax. The current
behavior is not a bug and is working as specified because hyphen minus
(U+002D) does not count as punctuation for the purposes of org syntax.
We should specify which chars count as punctuation in the syntax doc.
As noted by Eric \(\) has no such restrictions.
