Weirdness in job names reported from DBUS / initctl

Hi again guys,
     Another weird thing that I've noticed with upstart, is the fact
that upstart (not just from the DBUS perspective, but also from
initctl) munges around with certain characters in job names.
     For instance, '-' is converted to '_2', and '_' is converted to
'_5f'. Is this a known caveat of using DBUS or is this some type of
conversion that's knowingly taking place from within upstart?
Thanks,
-Garrett
