 I added it as a WP.com VIP did it and I thought it was a clever
 organizational method. I didn't realize it wasn't intentional to allow
 such a thing. :)

 Personally I really like the idea of it though. Say for example you have a
 bunch of ad template parts. Rather than having to clutter up the main
 directory, you can just make an "ads" folder and stick all your ad
 templates in there.

 We shouldn't break backwards compatibility by not allowing slashes in my
 opinion. Perhaps we can deprecate it though in favor of an additional
 argument so that `get_template_part( 'banner', false, 'ads' )` will look
 for `/ads/banner.php` and then `/ads-banner.php` or something.

 Or maybe we just leave it as is with some better security (probably the
 best).
