I agree this is something that should be addressed. The dots in element ids has bugged me for a long time as well. Here's a commit that is a first step toward correcting things:
https://github.com/tschaub/openlayers/commit/53059408084074903212abd4bf7995b3ad4fb0a6 I'll issue a pull request when I make some time to address a couple remaining test failures. I am curious why you'd be trying to access the dom element used to render a feature though. This is something I'd consider unsupported (it won't work with the renderer abstraction in a cross-browser way). Depending on your use case, there's likely a better way to handle interaction or rendered feature access.
