They work fine when run under both sh and bash-2.05b.0 in NetBSD, 
however, for portability, apparently one shouldn't use them.
On the Linux box in question, /bin/sh was a symlink to bash-2.05b.0.

$ cat > test.sh <<EOF
. #!/bin/sh
. 
. subr-with-hyphens ()
. {
. 
.     echo "Hello";
. }
. EOF
$ chmod u+x test.sh 
$ ./test.sh 
./test.sh: line 6: `subr-with-hyphens': not a valid identifier
$
