Incorrect field name in views SQL query

While troubleshooting another issue, I was evaluating the SQL of the view I was working on. This query was built just to demonstrate this issue.

SELECT node.title AS node_title, node.nid AS nid, node.created AS node_created, votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.value AS votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_value, votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.function AS votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_function, 'node' AS field_data_field_showcase_photo_node_entity_type, 'node' AS field_data_body_node_entity_type
FROM 
{node} node
LEFT JOIN {votingapi_cache} votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count ON node.nid = votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.entity_id AND (votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.entity_type = 'node' AND votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.tag = 'meetingtopicvote' AND votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.function = 'count')
WHERE (( (node.status = '1') AND (votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.function LIKE 'Sum%' ESCAPE '\\') ))
ORDER BY votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_value DESC, votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_function ASC
LIMIT 12 OFFSET 0

I'd like to direct your attention to the WHERE and ORDER BY clauses:

WHERE (( (node.status = '1') AND (votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.function LIKE 'Sum%' ESCAPE '\\') ))
ORDER BY votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_value DESC, votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_function ASC

notice that in the WHERE clause: votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count.function
and in ORDER BY: votingapi_cache_node_meetingtopicvote_count_function

I don't know which is correct count[dot]function or count[underscore]function, but it seems to me that they should be the same.
