Logically Spreadsheet should consider 08-010 or your other example as text not as a date - adding filters and algorithms to catch typos and/or user errors complicates the code unnecessarily and causes users to get confused when they actually want text but it keeps changing it to a date. Additionally, this would break compatibility with MSO which we try hard to avoid.

Marking as WONTFIX
