I guess the problem arises with the double minus sign “–”. That sequence does not match the validation regexp.

Anyway that sequence seems allowed by Wikipedia, at least

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hostname

Could you suggest any other reference to fix the bug?

IDN is standardized RFC 3490 - Internationalizing Domain Names in Applications (IDNA) with ACE prefix (xn–).
And from year 2009 allowed and now widely used for example in EU TLD Introduction of Internationalized Domain Names | MPO

Without repaired bug “add IDN domain record”
in to user interface is not usable in Europe. I mean the unusable for general users. IT technician can use a configuration files, but then litle becomes meaningless use NethServer.
