I can reproduce it in 552.20 and R50.16. It also happens in Q2017 ... but not in Q2013.

Not really. 

Quicken may not even realize that it is happening or why.

Or perhaps they intentionally changed the way they processed 
characters in the account register row that holds the Account Name 
and the Account Action Bar - thinking no one would be using (or
needing to use) undocumented ascii characters in their account names).

An en-dash does not exhibit the problem in any of 
the above Quicken versions.

I'm using the same Windows version.

Since the problem is easy to reproduce; I suggest you create a 
Quicken test file with one account that demonstrates the problem.
Then use the Quicken Help > Report a problem feature to tell
Quicken about the problem - and send the test data file with the 
report. Don't expect an answer from Quicken.
