Probing a little deeper, it appears as if either - or _ should work.

Here is a part of my setup.cfg (of course the word-wrapping is not in
the file):

[py2exe]
icon=pyramid.ico
version-companyname = Aver Development Corporation
version-legalcopyright = Copyright (C) 2001-2002 Aver Development
Corporation. All Rights Reserved.
version-filedescription = Alchemist
version-fileversion = 0.0.0.1
version-legaltrademarks = Alchemist is a Trademark of Aver Development
Corporation
version-productname = Alchemist
version-productversion = 0.0.0.1

All of those version strings end up in my exe (i.e., I can see them all
if I get properties on the exe from explorer and go to the version tab).
I'm using Python 2.2.1 and py2exe 0.3.3. I know I've been doing this
successfully since Python 2.2 and since the first version of py2exe that
supported Windows version resources. Which version of py2exe are you
using? Anything out of the ordinary? Are you using the standard binary
distributions of Python and py2exe? Maybe you could post your setup.cfg
file verbatim?
