Any idea why "test_" is missing?

Thanks.

Valid characters for a domain name are the characters a through z, A through Z, 
digits 0 through 9, and the hyphen. an underscore is not a valid character in a 
domain name (even though admittedly it does work in some systems).

This scenario should however probably result in a invalid_uri error or a proper 
encode instead of a different URL being shortened.

Do we have fixes for this issue where the URL contains "_"?
