It's not a documented feature (bug) - as far as I'm aware - but I have seen unwanted behaviour when renaming certain components in Qsys. Specifically, I've had issues when renaming the JTAG UART and the Nios.

Having just done a quick check: renaming the Nios component in a working system, to something with two underscores, breaks it. Renaming other components in a similar manner also breaks it.

Cheers,
