I see it as a readability issue -- if you have 1_024 and _1025 (etc, etc), where one is a number and the other a name, confusion can easily result.
But probably not much worse than the confusion you can get today between 1234e6 and _1234e6, or O000001 and 0000001. There will always be ways of creating confusing-looking code if you put your mind to it. :-) -- Greg
