I've seen these types of things break because of characters used after the dash separator would be deemed illegal by some part of the chain. However, if you delete everything after the separator just leaving the ID, the page would load. So some URL parser is choking because someone forgot to encode the URL somewhere upstream.

Just another reason to say who cares to human readable bits in the location. Most browsers hide that data anyways.
