Yes, it comes from this Qt commit:
http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/commit/b6b12bc6b8296d7e199cab0ece35c9eb9ae7fe64
It's quite easy to add the underscore to the allowed characters in
qt_check_std3rules and I'm tempted to just do that, standards be darned.
It's more important to interoperate with the real world and this is a
regression.
