Comment (by chipbennett):

 I was just about to write a patch for this. The RegEx is clearly
 inconsistent with the intent of `get_front_page_template()`:
 {{{
 function get_front_page_template() {
         $templates = array('front-page.php');

         return get_query_template( 'front_page', $templates );
 }
 }}}

 What is the point of passing `front_page` as `$type`, if the underscore
 gets stripped? Either pass `frontpage` instead of `front_page`, or fix the
 RegEx.

 This is very confusing for Theme developers.
