For the sake of people who stumble upon this bug report:
tl;dr: There's no problem with using a user name with a dash.

When specified directly (e.g. User=test-user) there's no issue.

When specifying the name as the instance argument, User=%i must be used, and
User=%I does not work because dashes are "unescaped" to slashes (as was
explained in https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/37755).
