Ouch. Please add a comment on that ticket, perhaps someone has an idea there.

http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Activity_bundles#.info_File_Format documents
bundle_id, and suggests that
http://dbus.freedesktop.org/doc/dbus-specification.html#message-protocol-names
is the definition of what is allowed, which does include _

However I see on the Activity_bundles page: In the Python bindings,
the bundle_id is also used as the activity's default service type when
the activity is shared on the network. To determine this type, the
distinct parts (separated by the '.' character) are reversed, any '.'
is replaced by a '_' character, and the type is prefixed by a '_'
character. So in this example, the default service type would be
"_BrowserActivity_Sugar_redhat_com".

Perhaps that affects the use of _ in bundle_id.

Anyone else know the answer?
