No, it doesn't. But, if I recall, @this_host.com is valid email address syntax, even though domain names can't (currently) contain the _ character. So, Email::Valid is sticking to RFC822 (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc822.html). This is why I mentioned that Email::Valid has MX host checking, which is where @host_name.com would fail (since there is not, and can not be a host_name.com MX record).
