I noticed that allimages is apparently the only API command that returns name= instead of title= and it uses the DbKey form (with _ ) instead of the title form of the images. This seems like an oversight to me.

Allpages and imageinfo work with titles, for which both an "ns" and a "title", which includes the namespace, are output.
Allimages works with file names. Notice no namespace in the name= output, or in the aifrom parameter.
Allimages could be changed to work with titles too, but removing name= in favor of title= would be a breaking change, so should probably be avoided in case existing clients rely on it. Similarly, changing name= to output a title would mean more than just the underscores disappearing, as a "File:" prefix would be added.
Outputting both name= *and* title= (and a superfluous ns="6" for every file) seems redundant.

I'm not really opposed to the redundant solution. Other opinions?

Bryan, care to implement the redundant solution?
Not at this moment, maybe later.
