Wow, thanks for tracking this down!

I'm not sure I would consider the fallback on underline a bug.
As I understand it, the "italic" face is equivalent to the LaTeX
"emphasize" -- which means that the font has to be more readable
in any fashion, either by slanting the text or by underlining it.

This is an incorrect use of "italic" but I guess fixing this would 
break things backward.

Thanks again for the helpful information,
