Strange. Here the piece of code, which tests that underscores supported:

[ Compiler evaluate: '| t_a | ' ] on: Error do: [:ex |
self inform: 'You need to enable an underscore selectors in
preferences first' .
^ self ].

It works fine in pharocore-11367, and actually this message was mainly
for squeak/trunk
where you can control the underscore by preference.
In Pharo it should work out of the box.
