To add more color to the issue:
I had a fixture with a category like this:
[TestFixture("string1", Category="AAA-BBB")]

It does not show up in NUnit GUI at all (2.6.0 and 2.6.2). I get no
indication whatsoever that "-" is a forbidden character. I discovered
that fact accidentally while refactoring the code and running some test
showed me a message about forbidden characters.

Title:
  CategoryAttribute accepts categories with invalid characters

Status in NUnit Test Framework:
  Invalid
Status in NUnit V2 Test Framework:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  CategoryAttribute should not accept categories containing any of the special characters
  used in category expressions: +, -, |, ( or ). An exception should be thrown in the
  consructor if an invalid category name is detected.

  Original Description:

  Version: 2.5.10
  Create a test in a category that contains hyphens (in my case V_2011-Sprint-k)
  Try to runs tests in this category with the console runner, e.g.
  nunit-console.exe wstestrunner.dll /nologo /nodots /labels /xml:temp.xml /include:V_2011-Sprint-k

  No tests executed, see console output below:

  ProcessModel: Default    DomainUsage: Single
  Execution Runtime: Default
  Included categories: V_2011-Sprint-k

  Tests run: 0, Errors: 0, Failures: 0, Inconclusive: 0, Time: 0.017 seconds
    Not run: 0, Invalid: 0, Ignored: 0, Skipped: 0

  Filtering by this category works OK in GUI app.
