Because then you can define the hostname '_a' which is not a valid hostname. Also with this definition you can not have the hostname 'test-host' as you have forgotten the '-' character. But if you add that it causes other problems. In any case you can see a more lengthy discussion at bugs.debian.org/409862 about this issue. I have not yet got a really good check description for this. It is close but not perfect.
