@Stefano, please ask your own question. That way when it is answered you can accept the answer.
Note that the 2016 answer would not apply to the 2013 version of matlab

Instead of searching for the object one might change the interpreter directly with the 'dot-notation' (available since R2014b) as in the following MWE:
wb = waitbar(0/10,'My_waitbar_string_with_underscores');
wb.Children.Title.Interpreter = 'none';
for i = 1:10
waitbar(i/10,wb,'My_waitbar_string_with_underscores');
pause(1);
end
delete(wb);
Note that if you use a cancel button in the waitbar, the number of children of the object changes and one might have to change
wb.Children.Title.Interpreter
to
wb.Children(2).Title.Interpreter

This should definitely be the answer! Worked great for me.

Here's another version that doesn't rely on child order
wb = waitbar(__);
set(gca(wb).Title,'Interpreter','none')

Hi,
Here's one way to do it
% Create a classic waitbar
h = waitbar(0,'my_name');
% change the interpreter of the String
myString = findall(h,'String','my_name');
set(myString,'Interpreter','none')

i used th following version:
wb = waitbar(0,'txt');
h=findobj(wb,'Type','figure');
ht = get(get(h,'currentaxes'),'title');
set(ht,'interpreter','none')
