The child element of a form must be an element in the group %block (other than form). Inputs are not in that group, div elements are. Div elements are allowed to contain inputs. Starting an id with an underscore is a seperate issue. The setting may or may not fix that. Note that a control _name_ MAY start with an underscore, and there is usually no reason to give a hidden input an id, so it is possible you are just confusing names and ids here. Seeing the difference in the code outputted in the two modes might help us shed more light on the matter.
