Hmm, seems somewhat related to
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23574 (that one is about
underline from the end of line to the edge of screen, this one is
about underline from beginning of next line). Perhaps the new
defcustom discussed there
(http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=23574#67) should cover
this too?
