Odd! I know the filesystems I use are okay with endash and emdash, but maybe some of them aren't and so Calibre won't use them? Or could it be a bug?
Very likely that calibre is using the ASCII character set which does not include an en or em dash. As mentioned above, this helps to avoid issues with OS where one of those characters might be invalid in a file name.
