I've just tried both

$ haxe Test.hx -main Test -swf test.swf

 and
 
$ haxe -main Test -swf test.swf # as suggested in upstream bug

They both successfully generated test.swf with no output.

Unless you provide a valid testcase to reproduce it, bug will be closed.
In the meanwhile downgrading to normal.
