True, but I wonder if the OP's issue has to deal with InDesign getting fancy and replacing simple underscores with some special on-the-fly graphic underline entity, as MS Word does, and then failing to decompose it successfully in its ePub export. The OP may well need to create the Id file with some replacement text (e.g. "#_#_#_") that will successfully export. They can then do a search and replace in an ePub editor (e.g. Sigil or calibre Editor) to replace any "#_" with a simple underscore or if the Id blanks are uniform in length replace with some fancier styled <span>.
