The following fixes it, but I keep scratching my head to understand why the (skip-syntax-backward "-") was originally there -- I can't find a purpose for it.
It was there to skip backwards across whitespace. I think that's quite useful, C-h f does that to. But of course it failed if point was immediately before a symbol. Should be fixed in CVS. Thanks for the report.
