I'm seeing the same behavior. The original source in the markup seems correct, but if you copy from the edit window, you get the extra '-' when you paste into an editor that shows real ASCII, such as Vi or Emacs, one single additional '-' appears. The same occurs from the displayed page.
Looking at the HTML generated by Moin from the wiki markup, I don't "see" the additional '-'. But if I copy and paste from the Firefox view source window, the additional '-' appears. So it's there, as a hidden character.
Pasting from an editor that is not revealing all the ASCII in a plain text fashion might be the culprit.
As a test, I wrote a replacement text piece in Emacs, which shows all the characters when in 'text-mode', and the extra '-' disappeared. I am saving this new version in replacement of the other, you should find that it works when pasted into Vim.
So, blame Kate?

Hi Karsten,
Thanks for working that out for me, I'll start using something else for the wiki. I noticed there is a plug-in for jEdit that allows you to edit wiki pages, I might give that a go and see if the problem persists.
Works fine if I use jEdit. I guess I'll use that for the examples, and will copy+paste the entire guide when finishing to make sure it all works.
Thanks again.
Murray.
