Comment(by westi):

 Personally, I never intended for {{{get_template_part()}}} to look in
 directories.

 The fact that it does is a bug IMHO.

 But I guess some theme authors appear to like creating lots of directories
 within the theme.

 It looks like @Viper007Bond added the directory example to the codex :-(
 http://codex.wordpress.org/index.php?title=Function_Reference/get_template_part&diff=92384&oldid=90074

 The phpdoc was always clear about the functions intentions.

 Putting the files in directories makes it harder for child themes to
 override as they now have to mimic the directory structure even if they
 want to override a single part.

 I would be tempted to sanitise out everything that isn't legal in a
 filename!
