For me as well.  I now replaced some of the hyphens with a Maqaf.

This is normal.  As Handa-san pointed out, cursor position is before
the _next_ character _in_the_logical_order_.  It could be a bit
confusing when the search string ends between level runs, but the same
is true for cursor position outside I-search as well.  So if we want
to fix that in some way, we need to fix it in general cursor
positioning, not in I-search.
