In an effort to ensure the SRV record was unique, MS decided to use an underscore as the first character in the name. I won't comment on that choice :) The easy solution is check-names master ignore or disable dynamic updates on the zone. I'm sure there are other interoperability issues, but because I'm forced to work with older BIND versions, I can't say what issues you might see with newer versions.
