I have doubts that '-' is documented somewhere, but you're right that
this feature is supported by the old version. I'll fix the problem in
v2.26.2.

If the goal is to set bootable flag then you can use

 echo ",,,*' | sfdisk -N1 $IMAGE_BLOCK_DEVICE

or 
 
 sfdisk --activate ...


Note that there was another problem with boot flag if you resize
partition (commit 4d156d92eb538f9dbc077a2dd181a48d8fdc65cd), will be
also in 2.26.2.
