Agreed. I'd missed that Andy was speaking specifically of the underscore.

I did a quick check, it appears the underscore problem exists for text objects 
as well. Do you see the same behavior?

If I leave the TeX interpreter on, then this works for me

plot (x, sin(x), x, cos(x))
legend ("test\\_1", "test\\_2")

p.s. Andy, I just indicated that this didn't work, but I was in error.
