Why does \textunderscore wail? \textunderscore should work fine.
See https://mail.gna.org/public/muse-el-discuss/2008-01/msg00001.html
thread.
This is just a mistake of the parser. Either _ should be translated to 
"\textunderscore "(\textunderscore followed by a space) or more precisely 
by \textunderscore{} or \_ .

I do not remember having ever problem with underscore in LaTeX.
Read the documentation of underscore.sty and you will know the trouble of 
using underscore in LaTeX (some of those are true for ConTeXt also).

Shouldn't such function names be written as \type{gtk_xxxx} when muse
converts the document to ConTeXt? In that case the _ will be
preserved.
Right. They will fix default in muse and use \type{_} as value for
underscore.
No, the default should either be \_ or \letterunderscore{} (with the 
brackets). \type{_} will be influenced by \setuptype (or \setuptyping) and 
can give colored output also.
