I think that earlier versions of texinfo did not support links which contain spaces. Those underscores look bad when a link is not only used in link lists but also in plain text: would you prefer to create a disk_image or a disk image?

In a first version, it looked like "QEMU disk_images for several", and I wanted to improve that. I thought this was obvious, so I did not mention it in the change description. If link address and texual representation were separate in texinfo (like they are in html), there would be no need to change the link. Alas, I don't know whether texinfo supports this kind of separation.
