There's no problem of having a dash in a hostname, so why should it be
in a jailname?
Well, the immediate reason here is this:

"""
name
A word consisting solely of letters, numbers, and underscores, and
beginning with a letter or underscore. Names are used as shell variable
and function names. Also referred to as an identifier.
"""
(ignoring that /bin/sh is not bash but the syntax is the same for this
purpose).
/etc/rc.conf is basically a shell script containing only variable
assignments.
I think you actually *could* have jails with arbitrary names (including
international / utf-8 if you're not worried about formatting much) but
only if you are going to manage them manually, not with /etc/rc.conf.
