Well, I'm not really that good with Gtk, nor do I have much experience, 
but my guess would be that the code is simply to allow either a - or a _ 
as a word separator in the signal name?  In the examples I've looked at 
while learning gtk, I remember places (even in postings on this list) 
where some people use -, and others use _ to separate signal names. 
I've never actually tried using both, but it seems that both separators 
work equally well.
