Probably the easiest way around this is to use two underscores instead
of one:

ALTER TABLE mdx_core.audit_impt RENAME TO __audit_impt;

Or any other char for that matter -- you picked the only one that would
cause a problem.  Even a space should be fine:

ALTER TABLE mdx_core.audit_impt RENAME TO " audit_impt";

(Not sure I can recommend this though)
