Subject: Why the l parameter flag in this case not work?

I tried to print a line of `-' but not work:

print ${(l.80..-.)}

An empty line is printed. However, printing a line of `=' or other
strings do work:

print ${(l.80..+.)}

I tried to quote `-', but only 40 `-'s are printed:

print ${(l.80..\-.)}

My zsh is version 4.3.17.
