I attached the simple patch which fixes PAE_INREPL state.

I don't fully understand the ispell manpage either. I've looked the
ispell source code. They
use yacc for parsing. I'm not good at yacc but it seems that the
escape symbol is used
for all fields. But the patch fixes only PAE_INREPL state.

Also I did some tests with ispell utility. For simplicity I fixed the
.aff file in the following way:

flag *E:
. > YLI
. > YLI\-

And I got the following results:

word: ylijohdon
ok (derives from root JOHDON)

word: yli-johdon
ok (derives from root JOHDON)

word: yly-johdon
how about: yli-johdon

So hyphen escaping works. And results for PostgreSQL with the patch
and the .aff file
fix:

=# select ts_lexize('finnish_ispell', 'yli-johdon');
ts_lexize
-------------------
{johdon,johdossa}
=# select ts_lexize('finnish_ispell', 'ylijohdon');
ts_lexize
-------------------
{johdon,johdossa}
