It's a feature, although I'm not convinced it's a particularly useful 
feature.  (I'm open to suggestions for de-featuring it in TT3, or at least
making it configurable).

From Template::Manual::Variables:

  Any key in a hash which starts with a '_' or '.' character will be con-
  sidered private and cannot be evaluated or updated from within a tem-
  plate.  The undefined value will be returned for any such variable
  accessed which the Template Toolkit will silently ignore (unless the
  DEBUG option is enabled).
