This sounds like a bug on the Horizon side. There is/was a patch regarding a 
similar issue with LBaaS v2 resources too. It's likely just an incorrect 
assumption in the logic processing these names.

Given that Heat has a REST API specifically for validating templates,
it's surprising that Horizon would implement its own, apparently
incorrect, validation.

No. We don't really care what you call them (although using OS:: or
AWS:: as a prefix for your own custom types would be very unwise). In
fact, Heat allows you to specify a URL of a template file as a resource
type, and it sounds like that might run afoul of the same restriction.

+1 for bug in Horizon.
