You are only testing _.None, not _.None,_, which is the problem, see below. I
changed your test to include the other underscore to illustrate the point.

The ZWiki tries to render anything between '_' (underscore) charaters as
underlined. So _.None,_ indeed gets rendered as <u>.None,</u>. Nowhere is the
ZWiki trying to interpret this as a WikiName. 

Indeed, the only thing I can thus think of (apart from quoting the
underscores), is quoting the whole sentence, '_.None,_'. This may be desirable
in this case, as it supposedly is a code example anyway. Doubly underscoring
the line (and live with the underlining), doesn't work, BTW.

I updated the above SandBox to illustrate.
