Comment (by jmichaelward):

 @desrosj Here's a first-look patch that attempts to address this issue, by
 way of prepending a hyphenated archive template name within the logic of
 get_archive_template in template.php. When applied, this patch will allow
 a file to be named `archive-custom_post_type.php` or `archive-custom-post-
 type.php`, where the latter will take higher precedence in the template
 hierarchy.

 To fully address the issue, I suspect that other templates - such as
 single - would need to be updated, as well. The larger question is whether
 this would be considered "code churn", but I do think that making updates
 to allow devs to name their templates in adherence to the WordPress Coding
 Standards is advisable and should be encouraged.
