I  agree on dropping out "ASCII-compatible".
Rather, I suggest to use "ASCII coded" or "ASCII coding".

As Adam pointed out, it will be useful to have two seperate names for
  "bq--xxxxxx" and its subpart "xxxxxx".

Suggestion: for an unicode label A, the conversion of A into
the "xxxxxx"  is called as BOOTSTRING-646.
 
And the one into "bq--xxxxxx"   is  called  in IDN context  as
  "ACUD" (ASCII Coding of Unicode Domain) or
  "ACUL" (ASCII Coding of Unicode Label ) or
  "UTF-LDH".
