Okay, this is apparently a bug in Excel.

Because the text has a leading dash "-", Excel first tries to parse it as a number which is limited to 255 characters, but when that fails and it switches back to General, it never restores the text to the 32767 character limit.

See this answer at SuperUser for a more thorough answer and a workaround.

A workaround is to avoid having a leading dash. The fix is to declare the column as "Text" instead of "General" in the CSV Importer.
