I use FreeBSD, and maybe it is because of a stricter interpretation of
the RFC in one of its subsystems. A good thing actually.
I tested a few commandline tools. ping(8) and traceroute(8) don't like
the _ either. dig(1), host(1) and nslookup(8) don't mind, they find the
hostname correctly.

Concluding I think it should be changed. We wouldn't want to violate any
standard, do we? ;-)
