Comment(by aaroncampbell):

 If we do that it would fix the main issue, but then I think we should at
 least change what we call it to something other than $slug. Everywhere
 else in our code $slug is a sanitized string (I'm pretty sure they're all
 letters, numbers, underscores, and hyphens only).  Also, doing it that way
 saves some backward compatibility, but it also means that you can't fall
 back through to files in the root theme directory.  I checked some of the
 popular themes (like themehybrid and Genesis) and haven't seen any that
 use get_template_part() that way yet, but I've only got to check a few so
 far.It would be nice if someone with access to the themes repository could
 run something like this `grep -inR --color
 "get_template_part\s*([^/]*/.*)" *` and let us know how often this use of
 get_template_part() is.

 Scribu did find a few themes using it this way by
 [http://www.google.com/#q=site:themes.svn.wordpress.org+get_template_part(
 using Google], but it's hard to tell how many would actually be affected.
