Not related to RTL mode. Problem seems to be bug 81994, and there is already a message about this in the wizard, see bug 81994 comment 13.

The underscores are used to replace non-ASCII characters in the project name, because plug-in IDs must consist of characters A-Za-Z0-9_ .

Looks like the wizard also replaces the plug-in name and the package name to match the plug-in ID. I think that's OK.
