WOW… Using MySQL, is there a way to replace the third “-” from the left in the following timestamp:
2012-06-05-23:48:10
You’d think after an hour of searching I would have found something..

The literal replace operation that you describe is probably beyond the abilities of pure mySQL – it has regex capabilities, but only for matching.
However, one workaround comes to mind:
Convert the field into a DATETIME field using
STR_TO_DATE()then output it using a custom format using
DATE_FORMAT()that said, storing the date as a native
DATETIMEfield in the first place would be a good idea anyway.
