There's no good reason. It isn't a valid identifier name.

Whatever preprocessor generates ex_hash_setop_except.pngc and other
files like it is broken.

Take a look at this code, at line 205 of same, that clearly illustrates this:

static wxIcon *ex_hash_setop_except_png!_ico()
{
    static wxIcon *ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png!;
    if (!ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png! || !ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png!->IsOk())
    {
        ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png! = new wxIcon();
        ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png!->CopyFromBitmap(*ex_hash_setop_except_png!_bmp);
    }
    return ico_ex_hash_setop_except_png!;
}
