I think you have missed something.

BIND does allow domain names with underscores in them. In fact SRV records use 
underscores so that names with those _service._proto labels can't be confused 
with hostnames.

BIND9 has a check-names hook to ignore, warn and fail RRs that should comply 
with hostname syntax but don't. It's been there for years.
